Lincoln Mrs. Mary J. - What to Have for Luncheon | American Cookbook | Perfect for Home Cooking & Entertaining Guests

Illus. with plates from photographs. Pictorial red cloth (with white head of lettuce on front cover). First Edition. NY: Dodge Publishing, [1904].

A charming book of seasonal luncheon ideas, with summer plans for using melons and canteloups [sic], peaches or plums, native grapes, etc. A list of monthly specials includes lobster Newburg, frogs' legs, soft shell crabs, shad roe, and sauted [sic] oysters. Minor rubbing to spine ends and corners, else very good.
