The New Royal Cook Book

Royal Baking Powder's 1922 campaign against yeast, in the form of a cookbook: bread mixed and baked in an hour and a half.

Salads and Salad Dressings

ALL salad greens, such as lettuce, chicory, endive, romaine, or watercress, should be fresh, crisp, dry and cold. Wash leaves carefully and put on ice either in lettuce dryer or in a cloth.

Dressings wilt the leaves; therefore they should be added just before serving. Salads may be made in infinite variety. Plain lettuce, or lettuce combined with tomato, or many other vegetables, cold meat, fish, or fruits may be used with French Dressing or Mayonnaise Dressing.
