ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION (1913) - In presenting to the public this book on International Dessert and Pastry Specialties we feel that we are presenting the most complete authoritative and up-to-date book ever prepared on the subject. The contributors being the finest chefs in the United States, Canada and Europe insure every recipe shown as right. These world famous chefs have given us their special recipes and they have made the explanations so plain and so complete that any one ran readily understand them … This is the first time in history that such a wonderful collection of recipes have been made obtainable for general use. These men are giving, in these recipes, their “professional secrets.” The calibre of the men who have prepared these recipes is great and represents as much as the great masters in other lines of the world’s work. Napoleon Bonaparte was a great general; Shakespeare, a great author; George Washington, a wonderful statesman; and Thomas Edison, a masterful inventor: but we feel that the master chefs represented here are to be considered just as great and doing just as much of the world’s work as any of the famous men we have all been taught to revere and respect.

Preface

In presenting to the public this book on International Dessert and Pastry Specialties we feel that we are presenting the most complete authoritative and up-to-date book ever prepared on the subject. The contributors being the finest chefs in the United States, Canada and Europe insure every recipe shown as right. These world famous chefs have given us their special recipes and they have made the explanations so plain and so complete that any one can readily understand them.

The great chefs who have prepared these recipes for us have all made cooking their life work and have been apprenticed under the finest and most practical teachers in the culinary lines in this country and abroad.

A large portion of the copy has been translated from the French. The finest chefs are generally the French or Swiss. They are not literary men; their language is not flowery, but we know that even with the difficulty that exists in expressing in English many of the French terms that the work as a whole will be easily understood and greatly appreciated.

This is the first time in history that such a wonderful collection of recipes have been made obtainable for general use. These men are giving, in these recipes, their “professional secrets.” The calibre of the men who have prepared these recipes is great and represents as much as the great masters in other lines of the world’s work. Napoleon Bonaparte was a great general; Shakespeare, a great author; George Washington, a wonderful statesman; and Thomas Edison, a masterful inventor:—but we feel that the master chefs represented here are to be considered just as great and doing just as much of the world’s work as any of the famous men we have all been taught to revere and respect.

The International Cooking Library, covering in ten volumes, every conceivable part, section or angle of the cooking question makes it possible for any one who will follow these recipes to be an expert cook. The great masters who have prepared these recipes have spent their lives studying and experimenting and are giving in these recipes their best ideas and suggestions. These are dishes of the millionaires and the most particular epicureans.

We feel that this set of books is presented to the public at just the opportune time. All people are beginning to realize that there is really no more important art than cooking and this should be so; for what should be considered more important than what we eat? The best health insurance is having the right kind of foods, properly prepared. A man is at his best only when he is in robust health and nothing will undermine a person’s constitution so quickly as poor food. The best dishes and the sure and absolute recipes for making them, are contained in this wonderful Bet of books. All the copy is from authorities just as positive and just as sure in this line as the noted Blackstone was on legal lines. We picked the best chefs in the world; we would accept copy from no others.

A careful study of the recipes and careful application of the directions for same is all that is necessary to produce the results that have made these men famous.

In the presentation of this book, we wish only that space would allow us to mention and pay courtesy to the many men who have assisted us in the various departments, copy preparation, translation, and editing, also the courtesies rendered by the managers of the world renowned hotels whose chefs have been our contributors.
