sources of 造洋飯書 Foreign Cookery in Chinese

造洋飯書 Foreign Cookery in Chinese  (Shanghai: American Presbyterian Mission Press, 1866, 1885, 1909) was written by the American missionary Martha Foster Crawford of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The content is as follows (details to be added later):

目錄
廚房條例




小湯

酸果
糖食

面皮
朴定
甜湯
雜類
饅頭


雜類

I decoded that part of the content is from Eliza Leslie's, aka Miss Leslie, cookery books, which were highly popular and affordable in mid-nineteenth-century U.S.A. Three of her books can be downloaded from Feeding America: The Historic American Cookbook Project. Miss Leslie was more than a cook book writer but an author of etiquette and domestic management books as well.

Decoding mission to be continued...
