Here we continue with installment four of Mrs. Owens' Cook Book and Useful Hints for the Household. This is, of course, the section I find most dangerous…Pies and Cakes. The rest of the book is posted in its own individual slices, here, here, here, here, and here. Enter any and all, at your own risk.
