First off, it’s interesting to me that these were called “receipts”, vs. “recipes”, and I had to do a double-take when I first saw that. The recipes reflect a different time – they are more basic, and oftentimes just a list of ingredients with little instructions as to the cooking process, so that 10-20 of them fit on a single page, all variations on a theme, e.g. “lemon pies”. There are eyebrow-raising categories, such as “pork cakes”, nestled in between “orange cakes” and “sponge cakes”. I smile at some of them, like the “lemon drink” recipe from a Sadie N. Lehman of Columbia, Pa. that calls for 7 lbs of white sugar. I’m tempted to try this(?!), but for the interested reader, the rest of the recipe: 2 qts of boiling water; boil for 10 minutes; take off and stand till cool; add 2 oz tartaric acid; ½ oz gum Arabic; 54 drops essence lemon. Voila!
The book is, of course, just a vehicle for the Royal Baking Powder Co. to get its baking powder listed in the ingredients for the recipes where that makes sense (there are a lot of cakes, bread, etc), and to devote a few pages at the end warning the public against unsafe, less pure bulk baking powders, that may contain “poisonous alum”.
