Fantastic!
This cookbook was a great find since my Mother-in-law lost her original #4 edition. She made special cakes that held great memories for her children and has not been able to cook them again for the past ten years or so. One day it donned on me that we can replace this cookbook online. I couldn't have had a better experience as this was my first purchase through Amazon and it went as well as I expected. ...

Product Description
PREFACE. (1881)

THIS is not a cookery book. It makes no attempt to replace a good one; it is rather an effort to fill up the gap between you and your household oracle, whether she be one of those exasperating old friends who maddened our mother with their vagueness, or the newer and better lights of our own generation, the latest and best of all being a lady as well known for her novels as for her works on domestic economy—one more proof, if proof were needed, of the truth I endeavor to set forth—if somewhat tediously forgive me—in this little book: that cooking and cultivation are by no means antagonistic. Who does not remember with affectionate admiration Charlotte Bronté taking the eyes out of the potatoes stealthily, for fear of hurting the feelings of her purblind old servant; or Margaret Fuller shelling peas?

The chief difficulty, I fancy, with women trying recipes is, that they fail and know not why they fail, and so become discouraged, and this is where I hope to step in. But although this is not a cookery book, insomuch as it does not deal chiefly with recipes, I shall yet give a few; but only when they are, or I believe them to be, better than those in general use, or good things little known, or supposed to belong to the domain of a French chef, of which I have introduced a good many. Should I succeed in making things that were obscure before clear to a few women, I shall be as proud as was Mme. de Genlis when she boasts in her Memoirs that she has taught six new dishes to a German housewife. Six new dishes! When Brillat−Savarin says: “He who has invented one new dish has done more for the pleasure of mankind than he who has discovered a star.”

Product Description
This is probably the most thorough set of cooking books that have ever been written.Every aspect is completely and comprehensively covered.Whether you are a master chef or a novice, you will find something you can use.The Complete Library of COOKING consists of five volumes that cover the various phases of the subject of cooking as it is carried on in the home. These books are arranged so that related subjects are grouped together. Examination questions pertaining to the subject matter appear at the end of each section. These questions will prove helpful in a mastery of the subjects to which they relate. At the back of each volume is a complete index, which will assist materially in making quick reference to the subjects contained in it.With fruits becoming less seasonal and more a daily food, an understanding of them is of great value to the housewife. In Fruit and Fruit Desserts, she first learns their place in the diet, their nature, composition, and food value. Then she proceeds with the preparation and serving of every variety of fruit. Included in this section also arefruit cocktails, those refreshing appetizers often used to introduce a special meal.To understand how to preserve perishable foods in the seasons of plenty for the times when they are not obtainable is a valuable part of a housewife's knowledge. Canning and Drying deals with two ways of preserving foodstuffs, treating carefully the equipment needed and all the methods that can be employed and every part of the procedure followed. The fruits and vegetables that permit of canning, as well as certain meats and fish, are taken up in a systematic manner.Jelly Making, Preserving, and Pickling continues a discussion of the home preservation of foods, showing how they can be kept for long periods of time not by sterilization, but with the aid of preservatives. Each one of these methods is treated as to its principles, equipment, and the procedure to be followed. After trying the numerous recipesgiven, the housewife will be able to show with pride the results of her efforts, for nothing adds more to the attractiveness and palatability of a meal than a choice jelly, conserve, marmalade, or jam.Confections deals with that very delightful and fascinating part of cookery--confection making. Not only are home-made confections cheaper than commercially made ones, but they usually contain more wholesome materials, so it is to the housewife's advantage to familiarize herself with the making of this food. Recipes are given for all varieties ofconfections, including taffies, caramels, cream candies, and the confections related to them. Fondant making is treated in detailshowing every step and directions for making many unusual kinds.Though beverages often receive only slight consideration, they are so necessary that the body cannot exist very long without them. In Beverages is discussed the relation of beverages to meals, the classes of beverages, and the preparation of those required by the human system, as well as the proper way to serve them. In addition to coffee, tea,cocoa, chocolate, and cereal beverages, fruit, soft, and nourishing drinks receive their share of attention.To be a successful home maker, it is not enough for a housewife to know how to prepare food; she must also understand how to buy it, how to look after the household accounts, what constitutes correct diet for each member of her family, how to plan menus for her regular meals and for special occasions, and the essentials of good table service. All thesethings, and many more, she learns in The Planning of Meals, which completes this volume. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume is from 1914 and as you will read from a portion of the Introduction written below, the author had a lot of wisdom in regard to cheap vs. quality ingredients when it came to making candy.

Do you remember eating penny candy?Well, what's done is done.Now it is time to become your own "chocolatier" and make only quality confections for your family.

Summary from the Introduction: (1914)

The American people have been called the most excessive candy eaters in the world; and the national fondness for sweets has been termed a crime.There can be no doubt that in many cases the habit approaches perilously near danger.

Yet there is a degree of reason in the practice.Sugar is a force-maker; Americans are conceded to be exceptionally energetic and restless; the output of nerve and muscle strength must be constantly renewed, and the craving for sweets is one of Nature's efforts to repair waste.

The fault does not lie so much in our consumption of candies as in the kind we eat and the way in which we eat them.Rank carelessness of our sources of supply brings punishment in
impaired digestion and decayed teeth.Children are allowed to buy and eat candy as they please, and parents who would shrink in dismay from permitting a child to touch labeled poison, give no thought to the character of the coloring matter with which cheap
candies are tinted, much less to the materials used in compounding confectionery sold at little more than the price of the sugar of which the candy claims to be composed, to the place and conditions in which it is made, and to the persons who make
it.The small child is given his penny or nickel, when he begs for
candy, and is turned loose to buy where he will.As he grows older he continues to spend money on sweets, purchasing more of them but generally bestowing no greater attention on the purity of the confectionery than he did in early childhood.
Sometimes the evil wrought by this ill-directed love of sweet stuff is subtle and shows itself principally in the advance of dyspepsia in one form or another, in the decay of the teeth, in the offensive breath that indicates a disordered stomach.

Terra alba* is one of the component parts of cheap white and colored candies; one shrinks from fancying what goes to make up the chocolate coating and composition of other sweets. The rancid flavor of the nuts used in candy often betrajrs their staleness, but even when they are fresh what do we know of the conditions in which those nuts were cracked and the meats
extracted?**

If you intend to make elaborate confections, to go into the details of coloring and molding fancy candies, you have work ahead of you, just as you have when you convert your plain
dough into fancy twists, buns, and brioche instead of into everyday loaves and rolls.It is far less trouble to make simple candies than it is to mix and roll out pastry and prepare a batch of pies.Yet this is something you do as a matter of course, merely because you are used to it as a portion of your daily or weekly work.Why not compound your family supply of candy as you do their stock of pies or cakes?

Contents:
Butterscotch and Caramels
Coconut, Cream and Maple Candies
Fudges and Simple Nut Candies
Taffy, Popcorn, and Candy Drops
Nut and Fruit Candies and Marshmallows
Molasses, Sugar, and Cream Candiies
French Candies and Fondant
Chocolates, Nuts, Fruits with Cooked Fondant
Miscellaneous Sweetmeats

** Remember the recent salmonella scare from peanut butter?

Good Candy Thermometers:
They should contain most or all of the following candy terms: "thread", "soft ball", "medium ball", "firm ball", "hard ball", "very hard ball", "light (or soft) crack", "hard crack" or "caramelized sugar" stages.

These terms are used in this cookbook, so you can easily determine the right stage/temperature when using a candy
thermometer.

Product Description
Delicious creamy peanut butter filling covered with milk chocolate makes them the perfect combination.

It began with the H.B. Reeses Candy Company in the 1920s when processed peanut butter and Hershey's Milk Chocolate were introduced as peanut butter cups and today known as Reese's peanut butter cups.

What is so special about Reese's peanut butter cups? Is it the way it melts in your mouth without sticking to the roof of your mouth? Is it the sweetness and the saltiness combination that you taste? Is it the tiny little pieces of peanut that you feel in your mouth?Or is it all of the above?

The answer is, all of the above. When you eat a Reese's peanut butter cup it triggers a number of sensations in your mouth, sweetness, saltiness and texture. Is it possible to recreate this filling in your own home? Many people have tried to duplicate the Reese's peanut butter cup but ultimately missed the mark. There are many, many peanut butter cups recipes on the web but they all use the wrong ingredients. Here are some typical ingredients you would normally see on the web:

Confectioners Sugar
Peanut Butter (store bought)
Graham cracker crumbs
Butter or margarine
Vanilla
Salt

Here's the problem, 4 of these 6 the ingredients are not necessary to make peanut butter filling and these 4 ingredients are not found in the Reese's brand. If you don't use the proper ingredients, you cannot recreate this awesome filling.

You can make home-made peanut butter filling that is "really" like the Reese's brand. First, you need to use the right ingredients and secondly, you need to use the right proportions. It is possible to make peanut butter filling just like Reese's by using only 4 ingredients and common kitchen equipment.

Discovery how you can make peanut butter cups just like the Reese's brand with this 50 page booklet. ... Read more
