Transcriber's Note

Variable spelling is preserved as printed, e.g. cardamon, crême.

The recipe for Braised Flank Steak, on page 318, may have some text missing following 'pour over,' as it is unclear as written. Since it is impossible to determine what that text might be, it is preserved as printed.

There seems to be a heading, _PUDDINGS_, missing from page 492, immediately before the recipe for APPLE PUDDING. The omitted heading has not been added.

There may be a heading missing from the beginning of page 516, immediately before the recipe for APPLES À LA NINON. The preceding pages covered tarts. From the index listings, it seems that page 516 is the start of a collection of 'miscellaneous' dessert recipes. The omitted heading has not been added.

On page 535, the index lists simply 'Raspberry' for the recipe for Raspberry tea-cake on page 467. This is preserved as printed.

Minor punctuation errors have been repaired.

For ease of searching, hyphenation and accent usage have been made consistent where there was a prevalence of one form over another. Otherwise, they are preserved as printed.
