The Emergency Shelf
The preface calls it "a practical help… set aside and so labelled": a shelf of the ingredients this book keeps reaching for, kept stocked "during those culinary crises which happen in the best regulated families." Stock it, and the hostess "need no longer dread the approach of an automobile full of delightful but unexpected guests."
