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.

Finnan Haddie à la Delmonico

Cut fish in strips (there should be one cup), put in bakingpan, cover with cold water, place on back of range and allow water to heat to boiling-point; let stand on range, keeping water below boiling-point for twenty-five minutes, drain, and rinse thoroughly. Separate fish into flakes, add one-half cup heavy cream and four "hard-boiled" eggs thinly sliced. Season with cayenne, add one tablespoon butter, and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
