Fond as Americans are of Ice-Cream and Ices, there has never been a
book giving directions for the preparation of the various forms of iced
dainties, some of which are quite unknown in this country, or are only
procurable from the best confectioners of our large cities. This book
contains the fruit of many years’ experience and experiment, together
with a description of the processes followed by the great French and
Italian confectioners.
More than a hundred different receipts for Ice-Creams and Water Ices
are given, with rules for preparing all the various flavorings. The
directions are both minute and systematic, and being the production of
a person of education and refinement, specially qualified for the task,
the work will be found to be thoroughly accurate and complete in all
points. Any capable housewife, with the resources of a well-equipped
kitchen, will be able to follow the directions given, without
difficulty and with certainty of success.
Extreme care has been taken to avoid ambiguity and looseness of
statement, the exact amount of an ingredient is always stated, so
that the most inexperienced cannot go astray. _The various utensils
necessary are described, and full advice given as to their use._
Following this section is a collection of receipts for Cake, embracing
several hundred different sorts, many of them new and original, and all
carefully tested and of prime excellence. Some of these receipts have
hitherto been the property of individuals by whom they were sold singly
at a high price. The book, as a whole, contains a greater number of
original and choice receipts for ice-cream and cakes than any other in
existence. It will be found indispensable wherever choice and dainty
cookery is appreciated.

“The air of elegance and taste which first breathes upon us
from the cover, and comes as with a spicy aroma from the
title-page, pervades every feature of the book—paper and
type, text and illustration—from beginning to end; indeed,
no work of the kind, which has yet appeared in this country,
quite equals it in a certain combination of richness and
simplicity.”—_The N. Y. Tribune._
“The text and illustrations have also the unmistakable stamp
of original investigation and independent feeling for the
tasteful and refined in household decoration.”—_The N. Y.
Times._
“The charm of it lies deeper than in paper surface and
letter-press and graver’s lines; and wherever it goes it
will educate, inspire and refine.”—_The Literary World._

kind, and hits exactly the wants of to-day.”—_Hartford

the hands of all who can appreciate the beautiful, and are
asking the important question—‘How shall we furnish our
homes?’”—_Christian at Work._
“Mr. Cook is not a slave to any one style of furniture or
furnishing.”—_Cincinnati Gazette._
“In the simple adoption of the means to the end to be
reached will be found the true artistic elegance and
comfort. We commend this volume to the perusal of all who
are interested in making home-life beautiful.”—_Baltimore
Gazette._
