From INTRODUCTION PAGE:
"To assist the good housewives of the present day and to preserve to future generations the many excellent and matchless recipes of the New Orleans Cuisine by gathering up from the old creole cooks and the old housekeepers the best of Creole cookery, with all of its delightful; combinations and possibilities, is the object of this book."
Not often are there romance and a golden glamour about a cookbook. All though these pages one will catch the glimpses of long-gone festivals, and of the graces and courtesies that made them charming; of the wit and the wisdom that flashed back and forth across the mahogany; of the bright eyes, now asleep for this many a year; of the gallant hearts that have long since ceased to beat.
There is also a folded clipping from a magazine from 1982 for a Bordon Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk recipe for Festive foolproof fudge.
