Description

Overview: This charming cookbook full of œreceipts was privately printed by Miss Mumford in 1905. Unlike many recipe books from the time period, there is a lot of detail about ingredients and amounts. The author states in a note that she felt the recipes were worth passing down through the generations. There are some gems here, but the fun of reading it is in descriptions such as œboil a chicken to pieces and names like œMeat Jelly for Invalids and œChowChow. The Genesee Valley Cook Book provides valuable insight into turn-of-the-century upstate New York households and lives. This work, originally published in 1905, is reprinted by Milne Library at the State University of New York College at Geneseo as part of the Genesee Valley Historical Reprints series…
