The illustrations make clear the more elaborate methods, as pastry and croquette making. The range of subjects has been enlarged. In addition to those found in the Everyday Cook Book, chapters are devoted to chafing-dish cookery, candy-making and preserving. ... Logical grouping and an alphabetical index make the desired recipe instantly available."
