Pastry for the Restaurant (Richards)$1.00 A vest pocket book of 158 pages, is, as its title indicates, especially produced for the use of bakers employed in restaurants and European plan hotels. The style of work required for the American plan hotel with table d'hote meal, and that for the European plan hotel restaurant, where each article is sold for a separate price, has brought about a demand for a book with recipes and methods especially adapted for the preparation of bakery and pastry goods for individual sale. The first chapter is devoted to French pastries, which are now so generally sold, yet so little understood, because of the misnomer title; then follows cakes and tarts of every kind; pies, in great variety; puddings, hot and cold; ices, ice creams, and many specialties, all set forth with ingredients, quantities, and methods of mixing and preparing, and instructions for oven or temperature control.

Economical Soups and Entrees (Vachon)$1.00 This book was written in response to a demand for a book that would tell how to prepare savory dishes from inexpensive materials at small cost; and, in particular, how to use up leftovers; by which is meant good cooked foods not served at a previous meal, and which have not in any way lost their marketable value in the sense of deterioration of quality, but which can be served in hotel or restaurant in the same appetizing manner that leftovers are served in well-to-do families. Mr. Vachon was selected to write this book because of his reputation as an economical chef.
