Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction: The object of these pages is to explain the system of cooking by means of paper-bags, instead of the utensils now in practice in all civilized countries. The method fully merits all that has been said in its favour. On account of its cleanliness, it is hygienic; because of the conservation of flavours which it permits, it tempts the appetite and makes food palatable; because of the lack of waste connected with it, it is the most economical mode of cookery, - a consideration which cannot be ignored in this day of high prices.... This early works is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject and will appeal to anyone interested in cookery. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
