Edizione: the most famous american cook book, and this is a nice copy of the new revised edition. fanny farmer was noted for a new approach to recipe writing, following an almost scientific set of instructions, "it is my wish that it may not only be looked upon as a compilation of tried and tested recipes, but that it may awaken an interest through its condensed scientific knowledge which will lead to deeper thought and broader study of what to eat."
