HANNAH WIDDIFIELD,
_Celebrated for many Years for the superiority of every article she made, in South Ninth Street, above Spruce, Philadelphia._
Complete in one large duodecimo volume, strongly bound. Price One Dollar.
There is not a lady living, but should possess themselves of a copy of this work at once. It will give you all better meals and make your cost of living less, and keep your husbands, sons, and brothers in an excellent humor. It is recommended by thousands, and is the _best_ and only complete Book on all kinds of Cookery extant. It is written so that all can understand it. It is taking the place of all other Cook Books, for a person possessing "WIDDIFIELD"S NEW COOK BOOK" needs no other, as a copy of this is worth all the other books, called Cook Books, in the World.
_Read what the Editor of the Dollar Newspaper says about it._
"The auth.o.r.ess of this work long enjoyed great celebrity with the best families in Philadelphia as the most thoroughly informed lady in her profession in this country. Her Establishment, on Ninth above Spruce street, has long enjoyed the patronage of the best livers in our city.
The receipts cover almost every variety of cake or dish, and every species of cooking. One great advantage which this book enjoys over almost every other is the simplicity with which the ingredients are set forth, and the comparatively moderate cost at which particular receipts may be got up. In most cook books the directions cover so large a cost, that to common livers the directions had almost as well not be given.
This objection has been measurably removed in this new volume. Another important matter is, no receipts are contained in it but those fully tested, not only by the author, but by cooks and housekeepers most competent to judge. The volume opens with directions for soup, for fish, oysters, meat, poultry, etc. In addition to all this, much attention has been given to directions for the preparation of dishes for the sick and convalescent. Mr. Peterson has issued the volume in handsome style, wisely, as we think, using large type and good paper. The book is sold at, or will be sent to any part of the Union, free of postage, on receipt of One Dollar."
_Read what the Editor of the Sat.u.r.day Evening Post says of it._
"A number of good books on this subject have been published lately, but this is unquestionably the best that we have ever seen Its superiority is in the clearness, and brevity, and the practical directness of the receipts; they are easily understood and followed. The book looks like what it is, the ripe fruit of many years" successful practice. The establishment of Mrs. Widdifield has for many years held the first rank in Philadelphia for the unvarying excellence of every article there made; and now she crowns her well deserved celebrity by giving to the world _the best book that has been written on the subject of cookery_.
The clear type in which the publisher presents it is no slight addition to its value."
_Read what the Editor of the Public Ledger says of it._
"A Valuable Work.--Next to having something to eat is having it cooked in a style fit to be eaten. Every housekeeper does not understand this art, and, probably, only for want of a little elementary teaching. This want is easily supplied, for T. B. Peterson has just published Mrs.
Widdifield"s New Cook Book, in which the experience of that celebrated person in this line is given so clearly and with such precise details, that any housekeeper of sufficient capacity to undertake the management of household affairs, can make herself an accomplished caterer for the table without serving an apprenticeship to the business. The book is published in one volume, the typography good, and paper excellent, with as much real useful information in the volume as would be worth a dozen times its price. Get it at once."
