1933 Here's How by George A Lurie

PREFACE From time immemorial,man has sought ways and means of pleasing his palate with food and drink. This book is dedicated to the legions who seek recipes to bring cheer and conviviality into any gathering and who wish to present to their guests, and furnish for themselves, the beverages which will please the modern palate as did the nectars of old please those of the ancients. Recipes set down in the pages which follow have been chosen with care and consideration for the taste of every person who partakes of so-called "mixed drinks." The author has searched the highways and by-ways of the world to gather into these pages the very best that the greatest concocters of "mixed drinks" have to offer. If each recipe, as set forth, is carefully carried out, the resulting compound will be found not only delectable hut delightful to every taste. It has been the honest intent of the author to set forth the widest selection of mixed drinks or cocktails carried between any two book covers in the world. If this book pleases the reader and fulfills its purpose as a purveyor of ways and means to bring forth palatable and refreshing results, the author feels well repaid for his long and tedious work.

George A. Lurie.
