Cook book of tested receipes

About the author
Ida Lee Cary is known for practical household and food writing from the early 1900s. Confirmed works by her include Cook book of tested receipes and Tea room business, both of which point to a writer interested in useful, everyday guidance rather than literary showmanship.
Her surviving books suggest a clear, service-minded style: recipes meant to be made, and business advice meant to help readers manage a tea room. That makes her work especially interesting today as a glimpse into domestic life, hospitality, and small-scale entrepreneurship in the period.
Little biographical detail was easy to confirm from reliable sources available here, so the picture that remains is mainly the one her books provide: a practical author whose writing was built around helping readers cook well and work efficiently.
