Excerpt from book: In the selection of meat it is most essential that we understand how to choose it; in beef it should be a smooth, fine grain, of a clear bright red color, the fat white, and will feel tender when pinched with the fingers. Will also have abundant kidney fat or suet. The most choice pieces for roast are the sirloin, fore and middle ribs. Veal, to be good, should have the flesh firm and dry, fine grained and of a delicate pinkish color, and plenty of kidney fat; the joints stiff. Mutton is good when the flesh is a bright red, firm and juicy and a close grain, the fat firm and white. Pork: if young, the lean will break on being pinched smooth when nipped with the fingers, also the skin will break and dent; if the rind is rough and hard it is old. In roasting meat, allow from fifteen to twenty minutes to the pound, which will vary according to the thickness of the roast. A great deal of the success in roasting depends on the heat and goodness of the fire; if put into a cool oven it loses its juices, and the result is a tough, tasteless roast; whereas, if the oven is of the proper heat, it immediately sears up the pores of the meat and the juices are retained. The oven should be the hottest when the meat is put into it, in order to quickly crisp the surface and close the pores of the meat, thereby confining ite natural juices. If the oven is too hot to hold the hand in for only a moment, then the oven is right to receive the meat. The roast should first be washed in pure water, then wiped dry with a clean dry cloth, placed in a baking-pan, without any seasoning; some pieces of suet or cold drippings laid under it, but no water should be put into the pan, for this would have a tendency to soften the outside of the meat. The water can never get so hot as the hot fat up...
Incredibly popular and long-lasting, this has been one of the most enduring cookbooks in American history. The book was only loosely connected to the White House when it was first published in 1887. By this edition, 1899, "interesting information is given concerning the White House, how its hospitality is conducted, the menus served on special occasions, views of the interior, portraits of all the ladies of the White House, etc." The book has been republished, in whole or in part, numerous times throughout the 20th century. Containing not only recipes, but also information on carving, the management of State dinners, table etiquette, household management (including a list of the items needed to run a kitchen), and "health suggestions," this is a comprehensive collection of the menus and recipes of the American and White House kitchen.
