<a href="http://www.bartleby.com/87/" title="Farmer, Fannie Merritt. 1918. The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book">The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book</a>: &ldquo;This classic American cooking reference includes 1,849 recipes, including everything from &lsquo;after-dinner coffe&rsquo; &mdash; which Farmer notes is beneficial for a stomach &lsquo;overtaxed by a hearty meal&rsquo; &mdash; to &lsquo;Zigaras &agrave;� la Russe,&rsquo; an elegant puff-pastry dish. Bartleby.com chose the 1918 edition because it was the last edition of the cookbook authored completely by Farmer.&rdquo;
