Review: Fascinating historical but relevant recipes

Written in 1919, the recipes read like the ones my grandmother and great-grandmother wrote.  A pinch of this, a dab of that...just the way Grandma cooked.  While I sometimes had to look up some of the names of tools or products used in the recipes (because they change with time), the recipes are still relevant and provide a sound basis for cooking Italian from scratch the old fashioned way.  No microwaves, sometimes with a wood stove and sometimes cooking food that can't be found in the normal grocery store.
