Excerpt from Our Society Cook Book: Embracing About 1200 Tried, Reliable and Economical Recipes Especially Adapted to the Wants of Those Who Desire Healthful Cookery and Whose Object Is the Elevation of the Art
In the compilation of this work, we have striven to give the greatest amount of information possible, consistent with the plan adopted, and to so arrange it that any subject sought can be easily and quickly found; and, when found, that it shall contain just the information sought. The tendency of the age is toward the practical, and he who would gain the attention of the public must be concise and to the point.
Our aim is to assist in the management of the household, but especially would we enter our plea for improved cookery. Ill-cooked meals are a source of discomfort. Bad cooking is waste - waste of money and loss of comfort. Among the "common things" which educators should leach the rising generation, this should not be overlooked. It is the commonest and yet the most neglected of the branches of female education.
In this department we have endeavored to give only those recipes which have stood the test of actual use and received the endorsement of the best cooks and caterers of the day, and all of them can be depended upon as being just what they purport to be.
We have considered it unnecessary to add the names of the contributors, as most of them would be nearly or quite unknown to the reader, and, therefore, would carry no weight of authority with them, and would servo but to occupy space, which is better used for additional recipes.
