The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book

The book that taught America to measure. Fannie Farmer's 1896 classic replaced the pinch, the lump and the teacup of the old receipts with the level cup and the level spoon — and then filled eight hundred pages with what to do next.

Crackers and Cheese

Mash a cream cheese, season, and shape in balls, then flatten balls, and serve on butter-thin crackers.

NOTE. Cream cheese is very acceptable served with zephyrettes or butter-thins and Bar le Duc currants. Cottage Cheese I Heat one quart sour milk to 100° F., and turn into a strainer lined with cheese-cloth. Pour over one quart hot water, and as soon as water has drained through, pour over another quart; then repeat. Gather cheese-cloth around curd to form a bag and let hang until curd is free from whey. Moisten with melted butter and heavy cream, and add salt to taste. Shape into small balls.
