The handy dictionary of cookery : containing about five hundred valuable recipes

Preface

H

The Art of Cookery is a valuable and important science ; it is daily more increasingly studied by many thoughtful, intelligent, and intellectual minds. The Education Department and School Managers are seeing the necessity of Cookery Lessons as a part of the education of our girls to enable them to do their duty to their homes better, and to fit them to be more useful in their future years. It is the duty of every woman who undertakes the charge of a household to give this subject her special and careful attention, for the health, comfort, prosperity, and happiness of her family greatly depend on her doing so.

The object of this book is to show how cookery may be made easy ; every recipe will be given as simply, clearly, and in as few words as possible, thus enabling the reader to see at a glance what to do, and how to do it. Also, it is hoped that the arrangement of the work will be found easy to turn to, as the different dishes are all arranged in an alphabetical and dictionary form.

The following introductory remarks should be carefully studied.
