The Compendium of Cookery and Reliable Recipes, Two Complete Volumes in One containing the entire compilation of rules for cooking and confectionery together with The Book of Knowledge or 1,000 Ways of Getting Rich as prepared by Mrs. E.C. Blakeslee of Chicago, Miss Emma Leslie of Philadelphia, and Dr. S.H. Hughes, chemist, of Boston.

This fun book also contains advice on cleaning, homemaking, being handsome, dressmaking, homemade makeup and skincare, and so much more. 

This hardcover from 1890 is in fair antique condition. Heavy cover wear - I think the book was covered with a homemade cover at one time. Loose binding, delicate pages.
