Mock turtle soup in a Quaker city kitchen: the Philadelphia housewife opens with a full run of soups, from thin beef to oyster, before moving through the family receipt book. Mid-Atlantic home cooking recorded plainly for daily use. The city's household table before the cookbook industry found it. Start with the soup course.

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.
