<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Crisco's history began in pre-Civil War America when William Proctor, a candle-maker, and his brother-in-law James Gamble, a soap-maker, joined forces to compete against the other candle- and soap-makers in the Cincinnati area.

It provides a history of Crisco, information on the benefits of the product to families, as well as a 615 recipes all using the product.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The authoritative history of Crisco and recipes using this product.
