The text pages are generally clean, but there is noticeable toning throughout, and the pages are brittle. The rear inner hinge has been awkwardly repaired by a previous owner, and the front hinge has cracking. There are several pages that have a former owner's penciled recipes (including an inserted recipe for Angel Food cake). Isabella G. D. Stewart was the first to note a particular sponge cake recipe as Angel Food Cake in print. This recipe was first included in the 2nd edition of the Home Messenger. In this third edition, there are three variations of the Angel Food Cake. " The first recipe in a cookbook for a white sponge cake is in Lettice Bryan's The Kentucky Housewife of 1839.

The Home Messenger Book of Tested Recipes, 2d ed. , 1878, by Isabella Stewart contained the first recipe for Angel's Food Cake. Stewart's detailed recipe called for eleven egg whites, sugar, flour, vanilla extract and cream of tartar. " (from Wikipedia).…
