Description
Honolulu: Hawaiian Gazette Co, 1909. Octavo (21 x 14.5 cm.), 150, [16] pages. Interleaved with unpaginated blanks for the addition of handwritten recipes. Index and advertisements. Stated "Fifth Edition, Revised and Enlarged". Later edition of Hawaii's first cookbook, a community cookbook with recipes attributed. The much slimmer first edition - just forty-nine pages - was issued in 1879 by "The Ladies of the Fort Street Church" and printed by P.C. Advertising Printing Establishment. In the new preface to this Fifth Edition, the current editor Elizabeth C.V. Hall, speaks to the book's origins, though miscalculates the original publication date to be 1882. While the chapter headings are fairly standard – Cakes, Confectionery, Desserts, Eggs, Fish, Game and Poultry, etc. – there is a presence of more local recipes and ingredients. Taro, breadfruit, papaya, alligator pear, and of course cocoanut and pineapple. Some spotting and light soil throughout. In original limp cloth, titled in black on the front panel; wear and abrasions to cloth, especially at the spine, thought it remains structurally sound. Near very good. With two handwritten recipes, "Steamed Chocolate Pudding" and "Caramel Pudding" added to a blank. [OCLC locates nine copies of this edition; the first edition is known only by one copy (NYPL); Brown 524 (for the first edition); Cook, page 55; not in Cagle].
