Flint Hills Cook Book

Beskrivning av boken

"Flint Hills Cook Book" is a recipe book compiled by the women of Christ Church Parish, Burlington, Iowa. The preface explains, " There is a custom, hoary with the accumulated dust of ages, originating many a long century ago, in a certain, but now extinct "garden," of which we all know more or less, viz: That man will and must eat. Out of the helplessness of man there has grown another custom, equally old, (some say even older) that women shall set before him that which shall satisfy man's hunger. From that day to this women have vied with one another for pre-eminence in culinary art. Now any man will tell you that in this art, there has been vouchsafed to some a greater measure of perfection than to others. With this thought in mind, it has been the effort of the compilers to gather together and set forth in the pages of this book the proudest achievements of the best cooks to be found among the women of Christ Church Parish and others of the city of Burlington, Iowa."
