Pastry for the Restaurant (Richards) $1.00

A vest pocket book of 158 pages, is, as its title indicates, especially produced for the use of bakers employed in restaurants and European plan hotels. The style of work required for the American plan hotel with table d'hote meal, and that for the European plan hotel restaurant, where each article is sold for a separate price, has brought about a demand for a book with recipes and methods especially adapted for the preparation of bakery and pastry goods for individual sale. The first chapter is devoted to French pastries, which are now so generally sold, yet so little understood, because of the misnomer title; then follows cakes and tarts of every kind; pies, in great variety; puddings, hot and cold; ices, ice creams, and many specialties, all set forth with ingredients, quantities, and methods of mixing and preparing, and instructions for oven or temperature control. Mr. Richards' other books have become standard the world over, and this one will be equally reliable. The index to this book makes a very complete reference to popular pastry goods and will be found valuable as a reminder. The book is printed on bond paper.
