Transcriber's Note
Variable spelling is preserved as printed, e.g. cardamon, creme.
The recipe for Braised Flank Steak, on page 318, may have some text
missing following 'pour over,' as it is unclear as written. Since
it is impossible to determine what that text might be, it is preserved
as printed.
There seems to be a heading, _PUDDINGS_, missing from page 492,
immediately before the recipe for APPLE PUDDING. The omitted heading
has not been added.
There may be a heading missing from the beginning of page 516,
immediately before the recipe for APPLES A LA NINON. The preceding
pages covered tarts. From the index listings, it seems that page 516
is the start of a collection of 'miscellaneous' dessert recipes. The
omitted heading has not been added.
On page 535, the index lists simply 'Raspberry' for the recipe for
Raspberry tea-cake on page 467. This is preserved as printed.
Minor punctuation errors have been repaired.
For ease of searching, hyphenation and accent usage have been made
consistent where there was a prevalence of one form over another.
Otherwise, they are preserved as printed.
The following typographic errors have been repaired:

Water, Cantaloupe ... July 15 to October 15."
