The original Fannie Farmer 1896 cook book

The pages in this book are all out of order and some are even missing. Page 451 - page 498 are after page 66. Then, page 451 comes again after page 402, and page 67 comes again after page 498. The first recipe I looked for was chocolate cake for my husband's birthday which should be found on page 420. Unfortunately, pages 403 to 450 are completely missing. Looking at the recipes, I can tell this is a perfect recipe book for someone who doesn't want to cook with man-made ingredients. I wish the printing of this had been better, because I know I would have loved it!!!

Great cookbook with lots of old-school charm. Complete with old ads in the back. A lot of the recipes are out of date and give instructions for equipment no longer used. Not the ideal book for learning to cook, but a cute book to flip through and make old fashioned dishes.

If you like to cook like your great grandmother did. This is a great book to show you how she did it. I made many of the recipe out of it, with no probelm. I like the hot cross bun recipe. >^..^<
