Too many receipts are avoided, although quite enough are furnished for any practical cook-book. There are generally only two or three really good modes of cooking a material, and one becomes bewildered and discouraged in trying to select and practice from books which contain often from a thousand to three thousand receipts. No claim is laid to originality. Receipts which have not stood the test of time and experience are of but little worth. The author has willingly availed herself of the labors oc others, and, having carefully compared existing works adding here and subtracting there, as experience dictated and having also pursued courses of study with cooking teachers in America and in Europe, she hopes that she has produced a simple and practical book, which will enable a family to live well and in good style, and, at the same time, with reasonable economy.
