Item description from seller

A smart first edition of this vast collection of recipes featuring Crisco American shortening. First edition. Very scarce work. With illustrations throughout. A delightful collection of over six hundred recipes featuring Crisco, an American brand of shortening that was introduced in June 1911 by Procter & Gamble. It was the first shortening to be made entirely of vegetable oil, originally cottonseed oil. With a story of the history of Crisco, hints to young or inexperienced cooks, methods of cooking, time tables, and more. With recipes from onion cocktail appetizers to Bombay toast and Macaroni a l'Italienne. Written by Marion Harris Neil Godkin, a Scottish writer and editor, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was editor of Table Talk magazine, cookery editor at Ladies' Home Journal and The Delineator, and the author of several cookbooks. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with minor bumping to the extremities and light fading to the spine and board edges. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot or handling mark. A contemporary ink stamp and the previous owner's bookplate to the front endpaper. With the bookseller's label to the rear pastedown. Very Good. …
