The White House Cookbook

Presented in its original, unedited 1887 form, White House Cookbook: Cooking, Toilet and Household Recipes, Menus, Dinner-Giving, Table Etiquette, Care of the Sick, Health Suggestions, Facts Worth Knowing, Etc., The Whole Comprising a Comprehensive Cyclopedia of Information for the Home is considered a classic vintage cookbook. Written by Mrs. F.L. Gillette, who in 1887 at nearly sixty years old gained popularity as a cookbook author, and Hugo Ziemann, a Steward of the White House who catered to the First Family and foreign dignitaries, the book set a new standard for the culinary arts. White House Cookbook contains not only hundreds upon hundreds of recipes for simple but elegant meals, but it also instructs on the many ways of proper housekeeping, how to make personal cleaning products and perfume from scratch. The book is now referenced and consulted by chefs, foodies, and historians. This book, presented in generous 8x10" size, brings historical dishes and executive style to a modern era.
