Blanc-Mange Strawberries, Curried Calf's Brain, Gruel, Sago Jelly, Disinfectant, Cure for Lumbago or Caustic Soap. This cookbook has whatever you could possibly want around the house. Anything a domestic person might require is here, from How to Purify Cistern Water, to Boot Polish; Apple Fritters to Boiled Beefsteak Pudding. Oysters appear to have been popular at this time, with more than a dozen recipes for them alone! There are not just obscurities, but many recipes which you might want today, from Salad to Lemon Pie; from Devilled Eggs to multiple recipes for Tomato Catsup.
Written at the turn of the 20th century, this is a truly comprehensive cookbook put together in the town of Galt, now amalgamated into Cambridge, Ontario. Each recipe names its contributor, and their home town: Preston, Woodstock, St. George, Fergus, Stratford... This book was the subject of a blog found at Cooking with the Galt Cook Book, where Carolyn Blackstock for a year cooked every day from this book!
