The Rocky Mountain Cook Book by Caroline Trask Norton
Knowing the difficulty of cooking in a high altitude the author, in this book, has endeavoured to give the public the benefit obtained from teaching and housekeeping in Denver, making high altitude cooking a special study. Water boils at sea level at 212. In Denver, where the air is much lighter, it boils at 202. Therefore, it does not reach as great a heat and boiling requires a longer time. It has been the wish to make the recipes practical and easily followed by the most inexperienced cooks. She has not attempted giving much information on chemistry and food values, leaving that for the cooking schools. No girl's education is complete without such a course. An intelligent knowledge of cooking will enable thein to feed their family with less expense and giving them the variety that the family requires. The desire of the author will be obtained if the book proves helpful to all who use it and inspires them with the wish for more knowledge in the art of cooking.
Caroline Norton was a socialite of British high-society, a political activist, a feminist, and a celebrated author in the nineteenth century. She wrote numerous novels and poetry collections, as well as two plays. She died in 1877.
