The International Cook Book: Over 3, 300 Recipes Gathered from All Over the World, Including Many Never Before Published in English, with Complete Ménus of the Three Meals for Every Day in the Year (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The International Cook Book: Over 3, 300 Recipes Gathered From All Over the World, Including Many Never Before Published in English, With Complete Ménus of the Three Meals for Every Day in the Year

This new work, The International Cook Book, is the result of years of preparation. No efforts were spared in seeking information from every source. A leave of absence for several months was obtained from my superiors of the International Navigation Company, a tour of the world was made, and personal visits paid to hotels, restaurants and homes of all countries. Indeed, I have been continually gathering new material and travelling for the past decade, and the work is truly international in its scope. It certainly is more thorough and complete than any work of its kind to date, containing in all over recipes, each giving full directions.

It was the many inquiries of acquaintances in regard to dishes I had provided and the friendly suggestions that I should get up a collection of my recipes that first showed me the demand for a reliable book pointing the way to wholesome and nourishing meals. Things of considerable interest in the line of catering were found throughout my travels, as is attested by the recipes, and my only regret is not having undertaken the trip many years earlier.
