THE TABLE: HOW TO BUY FOOD, HOW TO COOK IT,

AND

HOW TO SERVE IT. By ALESSANDRO FILIPPINI, Formerly of Delmonico's.

One Volume, Octavo, 507 Pages, and Portrait of Author. 1,550 different recipes: 132 Recipes for Soups, 100 Re- cipes for Sauces, 76 Recipes for Cooking Eggs, 40 Salads, 300 Desserts. MENUS FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR AND EVERY MEAL OF THE DAY 365 BREAKFASTS, 365 LUNCHEONS, 365 DINNERS. For twenty-five years Mr. Filippini has been with Delmonico, and is now manager of the branch house at 341 Broadway. Many people seem to think that, because this book is written by Delmonico's former manager, the recipes in it are only adapted to the most elab- orate style of living; both the author and publisher foresaw this ob- jection, and so were careful to make this book inclusive to give all the most ordinary and homely recipes, as well as the most elaborate foreign dishes. For that reason it is adapted to the humblest as well as the most expensive style of living. This work is endorsed by the Dclmonicos. Mr. Filippini's experience in culinary art is probably greater than any living man's. The results of a lifetime of careful study are here embodied. It is infinitely greater than a mere cook-book, for while it gives many more recipes than any other work of the kind ever published, at the same time it contains invaluable advice as to how to buy what is best and most economical, and how to dress a table and serve meals. In large fam- ilies the price of the work can be saved daily by following Mr. Filip- pini's suggestions. One of the exceptional features of this book is the fact that it is adapted to the humblest as well as to the grandest style of living. No matter where placed it will pay for itself many times over. As soon as the first edition of 13,000 was exhausted, a supplement was added, containing a valuable chapter on table etiquette, nearly 200 new recipes, including those for making all kinds of bread, for the famous New ngland mince pie, and for many new desserts and different cooling drinks. This book is not only the result of practi- cal experience, but it has been put to a practical test in thousands of private families, hotels, and restaurants, and we have yet to hear of a single complaint against it; while the encomiums pronounced upon it have been enthusiastic and far too numerous to quote.
