Twenty Lessons in Domestic Science or Tea Leaves

Twenty Lessons in Domestic Science

Author: Marian Fisher

Divided into twenty lessons, Marian Cole Fisher's 1916 work provides a home study guide on the characteristics and uses of different food categories. Whether meat, vegetable, cheese or egg, each section teaches the home student how to handle the foods in question and provides recipes. Housekeeping do's and don'ts as well as helpful hints are also included.

Tea Leaves

Author: Francis Leggett

Francis H. Leggett & Co. were Importing and Manufacturing Grocers, and their name can still be found somewhere in the food distribution business. Once, though, they were suppliers of tea, and very proud of that. Their object in publishing this and other books was to bring themselves and their goods into closer relation with consumers at a distance from New York; and incidentally, to provide readers with interesting information respecting the food which they eat and drink. This volume contains a wealth of information on tea -- its origins, cultivation, properties, and nature. Bon appétit. . . !
