On the right hand side there is a link to download it as a PDF, then you can read it off line as well.I have it downloaded to iBooks on my iPad so it's easy to read and use.

I love this:

"Rice Pudding (Without Eggs).

Stir sufficient rice in boiling water, let boil quarter of an hour, then drain water off, stirring into the boiled rice a cupful of milk and dessertspoonful of sugar. Make a custard (see direction for Custard, page 41), put the rice into a dish, mix thoroughly with the custard while hot. Grate nutmeg on top; bake as usual."

How many cooks these days would be able to make rice pudding from that recipe using "sufficient" rice .

When I click on the pdf link it opens as a blank page & then nothing more happens .
Has anyone else had a problem with it! Am I just not waiting long enough for it to open!

Edited to say . patience needed! I left it alone in another window for a while & now have it happily saved in my recipes folder.
Thanks for the link!

So it is. My bad but I don't think the recipes would have changed much from the 1st eddition in those days. I like the fact that it is good old fashioned baking where butter, lard or dripping is used and there are no diet things in it. Good honest baking is what I would call it.
