NOTED — 2007 transcriber’s notes:
IT DOES NOT tell you anything else here. I’m sure by the recipe
starting out that the oven is WARMED to 350 — that there is some
baking involved here. This is going to be done by test-trial I guess.
Still I’m sure a VERY worthy recipe!

Also noted — Names are shown where they were in
original edition. Not all recipes were Id’d.
