This is a digitization of my great grandmother's cookbook. The original was written by Elizabeth M. McGinley some time before I was born. I hope that making the recipes herein easier to read and search will lead to them seeing more use.

Tis the desert that graces all the feast

Simple rules for desserts

  • A light mean - a heavy dessert
  • Hot weather - a cool dessert
  • S[unreadable] starchy meal - pudding or cake dessert
  • Company for dinner - fancy dessert.
  • Prepare ahead of time if possible
  • Prepare for more than one meal

Digitizer’s Note

I believe Crueller in the original is a mistake for Cruller. I can’t find any indication Crueller is a historic or variant spelling via googling.

Given this is a chapter title, I have chosen to correct the spelling.

Additionally, there’s clearly an S, but I can’t think of a 3 or 4 letter S word that fits in front of Starchy. Suggestions welcome, please.
