The New Dr. Price Cookbook

A practical guide for everyday kitchens, this cookbook gathers a surprisingly broad selection of dishes that were popular in American homes when the book first appeared. Centered around Dr. Price’s Phosphate Baking Powder, the recipes are designed to stretch modest supplies of eggs and other pricey ingredients while still delivering reliable flavor and texture. Whether you’re a novice looking for straightforward instructions or an experienced baker seeking a nostalgic twist, the clear measurements and step‑by‑step directions make it easy to follow along.

The volume covers everything from fluffy breads, biscuits, and rolls to hearty soups, sauces, and elegant desserts, even offering sections on preserving, canning, and fireless cooking. You’ll find classic favorites like Boston baked beans, apple dumplings, and chocolate layer cake alongside inventive treats such as almond‑salted orange marmalade and coconut‑filled pastries. Listeners can explore a culinary time capsule that still feels useful for today’s home cooks, offering both comfort and inspiration for meals throughout the year.
