This site is the complete text of The Modern Method of Preparing Delightful Foods, page by page as originally printed. It is a cookbook written for the company that made Karo, Mazola and Argo, and it names them throughout; it is kept here as the historical document it is. The book carries no date; the year is still being established. About this edition →
