1920 Drinks by Jacques Straub

The Vest Pocket Vegetable Book (Chas. G. Moore), has done more to popularize the cooking and serving of vege- tables in hotels and restaurants than any other book ever published. It was written with this idea. The author took particular pains to make this little volume a classic and his masterpiece, and he succeeded remarkably well. Into 120 pages he has condensed more information regarding the history, cultivation, nutritive qualities, and approved forms of cooking and serving vegetables than can be found in any other book, no matter how large; and it has been demonstrated to be a book without mistakes. Recipes for soups, sauces, garnishings and salads supplement the general recipes. There are 78 ways of preparing potatoes, 19 of mushrooms, 19 of onions, 15 of cabbage, etc., 27 of beans, 15 of rice, 25 of tomatoes, and others in number in proportion to their importance. The vegetables are given with their English names and the French and German translations. The book is indexed, printed on bond paper. Price $1.00 The Book of Sauces, by C.
