Another old cookbook: Victory Meat Extenders (part 1: pp 1 - 19)

This year, I promised The Bat that we could continue to pare back some of the many cookbooks we picked up over the years, mostly from auction (a few we actually bought from straightforward booksellers), but before I let them go to the thrift store or to friends' collections, I aim to scan the best of them for posterity. As usual. 

Here's today's entry, front half of the booklet, scanned and cleaned up in P'shop. As usual, please click on any image to embiggen, share linkage wherever you can, and give credit to the National Live Stock and Meat Board in Chicago, Ill.,  who published the book, and thanks to the Illinois Northern Utilities Company who, it would seem, gave this little thing out, gratis,  to its customers, roughly 80 years ago.

1920 Fleischmann's Yeast baking booklet (part 1)

Click on any picture to embiggen

About 15 years ago, I bought this Fleischmann's Yeast cookbook at an auction, & only today opened it up to leaf through the pages and ready it for scanning to the digital collection. Imagine my surprise upon finding – tucked in the middle of the booklet – a letter from the company, complete with coupons for free product, and a leaflet touting several intriguing health benefits of eating a little brick or two of yeast each day… all in mint condition.

I wonder if Associated British Foods (the current parent company of Fleischmann's) would honor the coupons, if I tried to redeem them today? Not that I want to surrender them, but yeast is yeast, and rest is rest… heh.

Here's the start of the actual booklet:

pp. 2, 3: Introduction; Yeast Wisdom

Gotta love that Yeast Wisdom.

pp. 4, 5: The Mixing; The Kneading; The Rising; The Moulding; The Baking

pp. 6, 7: Accurate Measurements; Little Helpful Hints; recipe: White Bread /quick method/

pp 8, 9: recipes: White Bread /Sponge Method/; White Bread /Over-night Method/

pp 10, 11: recipes: Cocoa Bread; Rye Bread

pp 12, 13: recipes: Graham or Whole-Wheat Bread; Bran Bread

pp. 14, 15: recipes: Oatmeal Bread; Gluten Bread

Whee! stuff people make war over! Gluten, raisins, nuts…

pp. 16, 17: recipes: Raisin Bread; Nut Bread

And, bringing to mind a variation on a verse The Bat has been quoting for decades: 

pp. 18, 19: recipes: Parker House Rolls; Tea Biscuit, Tea Rolls

A corpulent maiden named Kroll
Had a notion exceedingly droll
At a masquerade ball
Dressed in nothing at all
She backed in as a Parker House roll

pp. 20, 21: recipes: Dinner Rolls; Lunch Rolls
