New Dr. Price Cookbook

A fascinating artifact of early American consumer culture, this cookbook was published by the Royal Baking Powder Company to convince home cooks that Dr. Price's Phosphate Baking Powder belonged in every kitchen. Beyond clever advertising, it offers a genuine window into early 20th-century domestic life, with recipes spanning breads, cookies, pastries, and desserts, along with surprising suggestions for meats, vegetables, and beverages. The book captures a transformative moment when baking powder was revolutionizing home baking and packaged goods began reshaping American kitchens. Whether you approach it as a historical document, a curiosity about early food marketing, or a source of period recipes, this volume stands as a remarkable snapshot of the era when selling a product meant teaching people how to use it.
