All You Can Books, top picks for cooking books

“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors—it’s how you combine them that sets you apart.”
– Wolfgang Puck

Let us look at the top picks by All You Can Books:

Twenty-Five Cent Dinners for Families of Six by Juliet Corson

Twenty-Five Cent Dinners for Families of Six | Juliet Corson

Now available in E-books and Audiobook version.

Juliet Corson has put together a few books on economic housekeeping, and this is a fine example. Almost 150 years after publication (1878), it has become quite impossible to feed anyone on 25 cents, but the principles on how to cook economically have not changed much. In any case, modern readers can still enjoy the recipes Ms. Corson has compiled, and learn from her introductory notes.

A Little Cook Book for a Little Girl by Caroline French Benton

A Little Cook Book for a Little Girl | Caroline French Benton

Now available in E-book and Audiobook version.

Join Margaret, a little girl who really wants to learn how to properly cook and bake everything from seafood to cake, as she sets out to make all the recipes she can find from her family, friends and the rest of the world around her. A fun and informative cookbook with a light narrative!

A Little Book for A Little Cook by L. P. Hubbard

A Little Book for A Little Cook | L. P. Hubbard

Now available in E-book and Audiobook version.

This charming little book compiles together a number of recipes, set out in an easy-to-understand manner, along with a poetic story about the stages of bread production. This book was produced as a promotional for a flour production company called Pillsbury. This is a “modern” update compared to the original edition of the book. This version has exact oven temperature settings for each recipe included in a preface for the book, along with more precise suggestions for the baking time. The book has been written for children, however, I am certain that adults could enjoy the book equally as much as a child would.

Marion Harland’s Cookery For Beginners by Marion Harland

Marion Harland's Cookery For Beginners | Marion Harland

Now available in E-book and Audiobook version.

With this book, Marion Harland presents the reader and listener with “A Series of Familiar Lessons for Young Housekeepers”. Housekeeping is an unavoidable aspect of the lives of most of us, and so the best course of action is to learn to enjoy it. Cooking can be great fun, and for those beginners in the art of cookery among us, the 14 lessons of Ms Harland are a very good beginning.

The Cooking Manual by Juliet Corson

The Cooking Manual | Juliet Corson

Now available in E-book and Audiobook version.

Food is one of the necessities but also one of the greatest pleasures. Knowing how to cook a good meal is therefore extremely important for all of us. Maybe you can find some inspiration for tonight’s dinner in this 1877 cook book by Juliet Corson.
