The Progress Meatless Cook Book and valuable recipes and suggestions for cleaning clothing, hats, gloves, house furnishings, walls and woodwork and all kinds of helps for the household

Original emboseed cloth, wear at corners, a few surface marks and stains, front hinge rubbed in two spots. Binding a little shaken, bright internally with a few notes and recipes added in a contemporary hand. Old ownership label to pastedown, stamp to endpaper. 272pp. Just four copies in OCLC, Bitting 594 Pages 17-184 (there are memoranda pages interspersed that are unpaginated) are food recipes, the rest household hints. Johnny cakes, popovers, lots of egg recipes, soups, sandwiches, mushrooms dishes, vegetable "chili con-carne" that contains neither chile nor carne, lots of nuts, fruit salads, pies (sweet potato, rhubarb, squash) and some interesting vinegar and drink recipes. A fascinating book precisely because, unlike many vegetarian books of the period, it seems to be entirely non-ideological (no asceticism here, there's a recipe for a Manhattan) beyond presenting economical meatless recipes.
