Recipes and Menus for Fifty: As Used in the School of Domestic Science of the Boston Young Women’s Christian Association

The object in publishing this collection of recipes and menus is twofold: to put them in a convenient and accessible form for our own graduates, who find them invaluable in their various fields of work, and for others who need tried and definite recipes for use in small Institutions….The recipes are those used by students in the preparation of meals in the school-home kitchen, as distinct from the laboratory; and have been collected and adapted, during a period of eleven years, from various sources from personal experiments, from the school laboratory recipes, from student-matrons, and from numerous cook books.
