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.

Candy for Dessert (Richards) $1.00

Ice Cream for Small Plants (Etta H. Handy) $2.50

Whether you make your own ice cream or buy it
on specification from a local manufacturer, you
need this book. It has many practical suggestions
for retailing and service; also special chapters
on the selection of manufacturing and storage
equipment. There are 23 pages of pictures of
specialty dishes. The book shows how high grade
frozen foods can be made economically and advantageously
in small quantity, as in the hotel
or restaurant. It is a practical handbook on the
making of ice cream, and is written in non-technical
language so that it can be easily understood
by those not familiar with ice cream production.
The formulas are written for use in a
forty-quart freezer, but may be easily adapted
to one-half or one-quarter that amount, or for
even smaller quantity. The recipes are carefully
standardized and have been successfully used to
yield products of uniformly high quality that can
be sold at a consistent profit. For those who buy
ice cream from a local manufacturer, and want
to control the quality, _Ice Cream For Small Plants_
enables them to specify formulas for an almost
unlimited variety of frozen desserts. 180 pages,
5 x 71/2 inches, durable cloth binding.

Economical Soups and Entrees (Vachon) $1.00

This book was written in response to a demand
for a book that would tell how to prepare savory
dishes from inexpensive materials at small cost;

which is meant good cooked foods not served at
a previous meal, and which have not in any way
lost their marketable value in the sense of deterioration
of quality, but which can be served
in hotel or restaurant in the same appetizing
manner that leftovers are served in well-to-do
families. Mr. Vachon was selected to write this
book because of his reputation as an economical
chef. In it he has given recipes in particular for
meat entrees of the savory order, stews, pies and
croquettes, hash, salads and fried meats. The
