Excerpt from The Profession of Cookery, From a French Point of View: With Some Economical Practices Peculiar to the Nation
Cookery has long been thought to be an art, and one also for which a special gift is required, if any great degree of perfection therein is to be attained.
This is perfectly true, and a thoroughly good cook will be no mean "artist" in every sense of the word.
But very few people, even among those who are daily employed in cooking, will give the same amount of patience and diligence to attain the distinction of meriting the term "artist" in this most important of professions as they would give to gain a knowledge of music or painting, or to learn a language.
