About this Item

Original illustrated boards, 12mo, vii, 399 pages. Includes illustrations and index. Jennie June's American Cookery Book marked the first appearance of explicitly Jewish recipes in a non-Jewish cook book, giving them the space of an entire chapter, pages 319-325. Their inclusion was an indication of the growing view that Jews were in fact part of the American fabric and not simply a foreign group to be assimilated and normalized. The author informs us that the Jewish recipes are "all original and reliable, - the contribution of a superior Jewish housekeeper in New York." In addition to its general cookery category, other general related topics are cross-referenced as well. SUBJECT(S): Cooking, American. OCLC: 7583742. Substantial wear to boards, some pencil marks and stains as expected. Lacks front blank endpaper, corner torn off margin of title and one other page, no text affected. Paper remains good and strong, solid complete well used period cookbook. About Good Condition. (Amr-57-15A-DR-bl). Seller Inventory # 41440
