About This Item
[Puebla?], 1931. Good.. [38, 22]pp. plus three leaves laid in. Contemporary quarter cloth and marbled boards. Binding moderately worn, leaves loose and toned, a few lightly chipped. In several legible hands. An interesting volume, used by someone to record recipes for cooking but also for medicinal curatives for a variety of ills. The half of the book used for cookery is more heavily worn, with clear signs of regular usage. Recipes are written in a narrative paragraph form, and include Sopa de Jocoqui, Coanos de Cielo, Pasteles de Almendra, Huevos Poblanos, Merengue Italiano, and others. Also in this section are recipes for everyday items like cold cream, mentholatum, and talcum powder, as well as a few that seem medicinal. In the section for obviously medical use, there are curatives for intestinal infection, for hemorrhoids, cures for colds and respiratory ailments, for wounds or contusions, and "para el cancer," among others. Slightly fragile, but full of colloquial knowledge.
