Description | Notes in abridged preface: "What moved me, in the first instance, to attempt a work like this, was the discomfort and suffering which I had seen brought about by household mismanagement. I have always thought there is no more fruitful source of family discontent than badly cooked dinners and untidy ways. Men are now so well served out of doors - at clubs, hotels and restaurants - that to compete with the attractions of these places, a mistress must be thoroughly acquainted with the theory and practice of cookery, as well as all of the other arts of making and keeping a comfortable home". General contents includes recipes by food type and moves onto to regional and national cuisines, menu design and household management as well as homeopathic remedies. |
