Excerpt from The Fredonia Cook Book

The committee appointed by Trinity Parish Guild, for the purpose of compiling this cook book, present it to the public with the earnest wish that it may be of practical use in many households. The recipes have been gathered from different sources, and it is believed that they are all reliable and practical. It is not claimed that this book is an exhaustive compilation of recipes for cooking; but it contains many suggestions which will be acceptable as a supplement to other cook books; and it will add to the knowledge already possessed by many who are experienced cooks.

We are pleased in this place to thank those who have taken space in this book for advertisements, for their prompt responses to letters and liberal orders. We take great pleasure in calling attention to the materials and goods mentioned in this volume. Their use will add to the success and value of the Fredonia Cook Book.
