Ovens come before bread in Mrs. Cornelius's ordering, because the young housekeeper's friend assumes you are starting from nothing. Biscuits, tea cakes, griddle cakes, and full directions for making cake follow, each explained for first-timers. New England household instruction at its most patient. Learn to keep house from page one.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
