New York: The Spice Mill Publishing Company, 1906. Hardcover. Green boards, title and illustration in gilt. Very good. 86 pages, A byproduct of the baking powder wars, fought at the end of the 20th century. After a stable rising agent was established, baking powder became a profitable commodity with over hundred manufacturers popping up across the country. To win over the public, still wed to their old cookbooks, baking powder companies issued their own cookbooks and pamphlets. This book, which is annotated throughout by a hungry observer, is a scientific observation of the product and how to make it. Crisp, clean copy.
