iv, 443 pp. "Of the many women's service magazines that came into being in the late nineteenth century, one of the most celebrated was The Modern Priscilla, which was published from 1887 until 1930. Initially a needlework publication, it evolved to deal with subjects of broader appeal to women, such as home decorating and cookery, eventually adding fiction to its editorial mix. In its coverage of food, it was heavily influenced by the domestic science movement, its recipes adopting exact measurements and standardized procedures that home economists recommended to assure “consistent success.”" CONTENTS: Cooking and Its Technique; Beverages; Cereals; Bread; Eggs; Appetizers; Soups; Fish; Met; Poultry and Game; Sauces for Meats and Fish; Stuffings; Vegetables; Salads; Salad Dressings; Luncheon and Supper Dishes; Desserts; Dessert Sauces; Fruits; Cakes, Cookies, and Gingerbread; Frostings and Fillings; Pastry and Pies; Sandwiches; Deep Fat Frying; Garnishing; Candy; Canning and Preserving; Special Cookers; Menu Making; Quantity Cookery; Index.
