Released on this day in 1896, one of the first cookbooks to replace "pinches" and "handfuls" with precise measurements.
Fannie had to pay the publisher for the first 3,000 copies, which sold immediately. By the 8th edition in 1946 it was endorsed by the Boston Cooking School.
I saw this particular recipe for Boston Brown Bread being praised.
The book is available in full through the Gutenberg Archive.
