    I have the 1940 edition, but it is not in the library

    The New Settlement Cookbook is an outstanding cookbook, but if you're looking for the original book or something close to it, this ISN'T the version you're looking for. The New Settlement is a drastic revision and updating of the classic cookbook, and many of the original recipes (perhaps half?) have vanished from this version, particularly savory dishes. The sweets have done better. Most of the famous cakes and kuchen and tortes have survived. In short, if you're looking for the book your mother or grandmother cooked from, you will need an earlier edition. This revision makes a good partner to the classic book -- between the two of them you will find endless good recipes, clearly explained. If you're searching for the classic book, you'll need to buy an edition from the 1940s or 50s, or the 1965 revision and update which reorganizes the earlier version into a more modern style and larger format but keeps virtually all the beloved original recipes.
