| Author | Eliza Leslie |
| Content | This was one of the most popular of 19th century cookbooks. It was first published in Philadelphia in 1837 and went through many editions (with varying titles), including a 60th printing published in 1870, 13 years after Leslie had died. In fact, this last edition was itself reprinted as late as 1892. This book was so popular that when her publishers issued her subsequent titles [See 1847 The Lady's Receipt-book], they took pains to indicate that the new book was "supplemental" to Directions and had all new recipes. |
