Fannie Farmer 1896 Cook Book: The Boston Cooking School

This is a nice addition to the cookbook collection. Many of the recipes are fun to try. One can even put their own spin on them to dazial it up a bit.Would purchase again or even as a gift.Might make a perfect wedding present.

Nice cookbook all around

I liked the small size of the book and the collection of recipes.

The cookbook is exactly what I was looking for but seller I bought from took forever to deliver. Amazon was willing to return it or refund if it didn’t show but it eventually showed up. Amazon is always guaranteed my purchases…even when it’s the seller who’s ‘boobish’. ;)

I'm so very happy with this purchase!It contains not only over 1000 period recepies from the late 1800s but it also contains genuine and accurate scientific knowledge, some of which I didn't even know before reading it!It contains details on how raw materials were being produced as well as the uses for them and is overall everything I could want out of a historic cook book!In summery : I wish every century had had a Fannie Farmer to send it off!Edit : This book went above and beyond. It has become a connection to my family I never knew I'd have. I was discussing with my mother and my grandmother one of the recepies I wanted to try making. Specifically Boston Brown Bread. When I learned something incredible, something they never would have mentioned if I hadn't been talking about that recepie. My great great grandmother immigrated from Ireland to Boston THE YEAR THIS BOOK CAME OUT and made Boston Brown bread all the time for her daughter. Meaning the recepie in this boon might very well be exactly the one she was using!

More recipes than you will ever use. Basics are there. Some interesting concoctions from way back. It's packed with information. Be sure to have your cheaters handy, small print.

There are many versions of this cookbook unfortunately this is not the one I was look for. However still a good book if you have good eyesight the print is small.

This book is from one of the best cooking schools.although it has been in reprint quite a few times it gives you so much information. Whether just starting out and cooking or an intermediate, looking for more advice, this is the book that you would start with. It gives you all the tips and tricks from the cooking school. I enjoy it thoroughly and I even learned things I didn’t know.
