Baxter, Richard
Baxter's Practicval Up-To-Date Receipt Book for Bakers: An Invaluable Collection of Receipts for the Baker who Wishes to Keep up with the TImes
Publisher: Laird & Lee, Publishers, 1922 Chicago, IL.
Book. Book condition: Fair to Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall Revised and Enlarged Edition with 1922 Supplement. "It is the aim of the author, in placing this book before the public, to fill one of the bakers' long-felt needs; not a great compilation of all sorts of receipts, with only here and there one that a baker can possibly make use of, but a compact volume composed of the very cream of bakers' receipts, every one of which is a staple article in the trade, with full directions for mixing and working the same. The author is well known as a most successful baker, always being able to build up a fine trade in the city where he locates. Some of the receipts are original with him, and have always been strictly guarded by him as secrets of the trade. These, together with the best of those collected during his many years of experience as a baker, and his travels through the Eastern and Western States, are given in this little volume. The receipts are all well tested, and the man who has a fair knowledge of baking to begin with, and who has this invaluable book to aid him, will find himself thoroughly equipped to handle the best of trade anywhere int he United States." This is a recipe book for the modern (ca. 1922) professional baker. 126 pages with index. Book is in FAIR to GOOD condition; book has apparently been used in the kitchen, but is still in usable condition. No dust jacket.

Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall 'The third edition of The Sugar Plum is issued at the request of many who have had the previous editions.

The aim of the Compiler was to give only those recipes which have been tried, tested and used by good housekeepers, and many that one does not find in the every day cook book. Some are old, some new, some original. It is the earnest hope that the little book may be of some help and value to those who may use it as an accessory to their standard cook book." As can be inferred from the title, The Sugar Plum emphasizes recipes for sweets, cakes, desserts, etc. 128 pages.

In the Kitchen
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company, 1903 New York.
Book. No Jacket. Hardcover Signed by Author(s) 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Some of these receipts are French, some German, many are from English books, and many from excellent American collections. No small number are taken from written receipt-books of families famous both at the North and South for their savory cooking. Others are the result of weighing and measuring the ingredients of delightful dishes which celebrated cooks have, for the last fifty years, prepared 'according to judgment'. Most of these receipts have been tested by myself, and there is not one in which I have not full confidence..This revised edition contains additional receipts, and a full alphabetical index." This is an antiquarian cookbook; the section for poultry begins with directions for proper killing of chickens. 592 pages with index. A SCARCE, unusual, and collectable find! Book is in FAIR condition; this book has been used and shows some wear; however, binding is still good, but wear and loosening to covering over spine; text pages are clean. Some pages intended for "additional receipts" have had hand-written recipes entered. No dust jacket.

She was the wife of Tom Blackburn, Hollywood western scriptwriter and novelist most often noted for writing the lyrics to the Davy Crockett theme in the 1950's. The book probably spent some time in a sunny kitchen with the spine faded and spotted moderately. However the covers are otherwise just minimally worn and soiled, the binding is sound, and the text is just slightly toned except for the place where a bookmark from the Pickwick Bookshop of Hollywood has nested for many years -- there it is moderately browned. Hardcover Hardcover Very good

Have you not often heard that remark made by the young housewife when speaking of the legion of Cook Books already on the market? Well, that is just the reason why I have undertaken and now offer to the public the Us Two Cook Book. Every recipe has been carefully estimated and tested - the ingredients reduced so as to supply the requirements of two. Soon the young wife learns that it is impossible to live on Love, and in the following pages are presented in plain words the way to provide economically or lavishly that which more effectually sustains life." This book includes hundreds of recipes in seventeen chapters covering everything from appetizers to baking to main courses to desserts. 319 pages. This book was actually printed in 1909 - it is NOT a modern reprint or print-on-demand. Book is in GOOD condition. Rear cover is soiled; binding tight; text pages clean. No dust jacket.
