The Story of Crisco, and A Calendar of Dinners with 615 Recipes Put out by Proctor and Gamble in 1920, Crisco is new, but "is being used " in an increasing number of the better class hotels, clubs, restaurants, dining cars and ocean liners." It has even "taken the place of butter and lard in a number of hospitals, where purity and digestibility are of vital importance". So now you know. And if you don't know how to use this new product, then there are 615 recipes to show you! Even if you don't want to cook with Crisco, you should read this book to learn how to tell the freshness of meat. For instance, do you know how old animals should be when they are killed? ( It was a different day. Especially as they make such an issue out of making Crisco in a sterile environment.) You can buy this interesting book for $2. Look for it in the cooking section.
