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.

Rhubarb Pie

1½ cups rhubarb 7½ cup sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons flour Skin and cut stalks of rhubarb in half-inch pieces before measuring. Mix sugar, flour, and egg; add to rhubarb and bake between crusts. Many prefer to scald rhubarb before using; if so prepared, losing some of its acidity, less sugar is required. 114 cups steamed and strained squash 1/4 cup sugar 1½ teaspoon salt Squash Pie I 14 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, or 1½ teaspoon lemon extract 1 egg ½ cup milk Mix sugar, salt, and spice or extract, add squash, egg slightly beaten, and milk gradually. Bake in one crust, following directions for Custard Pie. If a richer pie is desired, use one cup squash, one-half cup each of milk and cream, and an additional egg yolk. 1 cup squash, steamed and strained 1 cup heavy cream
