EveryWomans Canning Book or Haute Cuisine

EveryWoman's Canning Book

Author: Mary Catherine Hughes

The start of the First World War focused society's attention on the limits of the public food supply and the need for food conservation to support the war-effort. Housewives of all classes, even those with little or no agricultural experience, were called upon to start Victory Gardens and with this call came the question of how to preserve these garden products for use throughout the year. In response, the art of canning and preserving once again came into vogue. To aid housewives with no prior experience in this area, Mary Catherine Hughes published this 1918 work, which provides clear instructions and recipes for canning and preserving using the simplified cold-pack method.

Haute Cuisine

Author: Brandon Bowman William

Haute Cuisine was realized ultimately to showcase legendary cooking of the past 40 years. There's no l950s franchise food here, rather you'll find the care, thought, planning and talent that culminate in a cuisine specific to a place, a time and a people. I extend my great thanks and gratitude to so many friends who have submitted recipes from among their very finest and whose food I have enjoyed for a good portion of my life. Along with that cuisine, AIDS Project of the Ozarks has chosen very deliberately to illustrate Haute Cuisine with art of the very highest caliber. And like a bride's necessities of "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue," the art has been selected from among the finest artists now living and working in Springfield or whose origins are here. That art reflects several artists of my generation but more importantly, the art reflects work by the next generation whose successes continue to inspire, dazzle and amaze.
