Excerpt from The Cook Book by "Oscar" Of the Waldorf The collection of recipes embodies many which have been rendered easy of comprehension and arranged in such a manner as to meet the wants of all - the caterer to large dinners or receptions, as well as the more modest entertainment furnished at the hearthside. There has been more particular attention devoted to the requirements of the latter than to those of the former, as, in the writer's opinion, the giver of a small reception has been, it might be said, rather neglected in such works as have come before the notice of the undersigned, relative to cookery.
