Product Information

Excerpt from Clayton's Quaker Cook-Book: Being a Practical Treatise on the Culinary Art One of the sacred writers of the olden time is reported to have said: Of the making of many books, there is end. This remark will, to a great extent, apply to the number of works published upon the all important subject of Cookery. The oft-repeated saying, attributed to old sailors, that the Lord sends victuals, and the opposite party, the cooks, is familiar to all. Notwithstanding the great number and variety of so-called cookbooks extant, the author of this treatise on the culinary art, thoroughly impressed with the belief that there is ample room for one more of a thoroughly practical and every day life, common sense character - in every way adapted to the wants of the community at large, and looking especially to the preparation of healthful, palatable, appetizing and urishing food, both plain and elaborately compounded - and In the preparation of which the very best, and, at the same time, the most ecomical material is made use of, has ventured to present this new candidate for the public approval. The preparation of this work embodies the result of more than thirty years personal and practical experience. The author taking thing for granted, has thoroughly tested the value and entire correctness of every direction he has given in these pages. While carefully catering to the varied tastes of the mass, everything of an unhealthful, deleterious, or even doubtful character, has been carefully excluded; and all directions are given in the plainest style, so to be readily understood, and fully comprehended by all classes of citizens. The writer having been born and brought up on a farm, and being in his younger days of a delicate constitution, instead of joining in the rugged work of the field, remained at home to aid and assist his mother in the culinary labors of the household. It was in this home-school - in its way one of the best in the world, that he acquired t only a practical kwledge of what he desires to fully impart to others, but a taste for the preparation, in its most attractive forms, of every variety of palatable and health-giving food. It was his early training in this homely school that induced him to make this highly important matter an all-absorbing theme and the subject of his entire life study. His governing rule in this department has ever been the injunction laid down by the chief of the Apostles: Try all things; prove all things; and hold fast that which is good.
