California Practical Cook Book

Author: Belle De Graf

Originally published in Oakland, California in 1882, The California Practical Cook Book is a collection of recipes, both culinary and household, gathered from Oakland women and published by a local Oakland printer, Pacific Press. The recipes are basic both in scope and in ambition, but they are a valuable source of information about the recipes being made in the average household in California in the late 19th century.
