**Bundle Up & Save On Postage** A very nice hard cover copy in dust jacket, pages lightly tanned otherwise without flaw. 6.5 X 9.5" 619 pages Weight Over 1 Kg. Filled with wonderful insights, helpful hints, basic etiquette, menus, and facts every homemaker needed to know in the 1890s, this fascinating volume will give readers an unconventional glimpse at practically everything considered important in the White House of the Gilded Age. Written by the White House steward and chef, during the Cleveland administration, 42 chapters take readers through informal courses on carving meat, making biscuits, rolls, and muffins, canning fruit, cooking fish, making soup, cooking vegetables, and more. While much of the information may seem eccentric today, the intriguing collection of home remedies, recipes, household tips, and more, offer an unusual perspective of this unique era. Truly delightful. With black/white illustrations including a portrait of Helen Axson Wilson.
