Alice Foote MacDougall (1867 – 1945) opened her own coffee roasting business in 1907 after the bankruptcy and death of her husband. In the late 1920s, she signed a long term one million dollar lease for her fifth coffee house; by the early 1930s, she owned and operated nine restaurants in Manhattan. In the present work, MacDougall shares her recipes and tips for hosting guests, developed over years of business management. She also published The Autobiography of a Business Woman (1928), The Secret of Successful Restaurants (1929), and Alice Foote MacDougall's Cook Book (1935), the last of which she published after having gone bankrupt during the Depression. The book focused on frugal recipes and techniques for saving and stretching food.
