If you are into old cookbooks, this would be another one to add, especially since it's free. But like old cookbooks there are odd references in there throughout. In the beginning there is a preface by the editor regarding different dishes. She writes: "Vegetables - Nearly all these are at their best (like brunettes) just before they are fully matured." I had to read that twice. The first part of Part II was equally, um, enlightening regarding men and their wives: "if you want a man to stay at home, you must agree with him and so must his dinner." The recipes are all in text form rather than a listing of ingredients. Good overall book with many historical references.
