Book Overview

The Stevenson Memorial Cook Book, written by William D. Hurlbut and published in 1919, is a collection of recipes compiled in memory of Adlai E. Stevenson, a former Vice President of the United States who passed away in 1914. The book contains a wide variety of recipes, including appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, and beverages. Many of the recipes are classic American dishes, such as fried chicken, apple pie, and cornbread, while others reflect the international influences of the time, with recipes for French onion soup, Italian spaghetti, and German sauerkraut.

The Stevenson Memorial Cook Book provides a fascinating glimpse into the culinary tastes and traditions of early 20th century America, as well as serving as a tribute to a prominent political figure of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
