Excerpt from Recipes From Here and There
So you see what a task constantly confronts us as cooks! And hence the need now and then of a new recipe book.
Ruskin has very aptly summarized this whole subject of cookery, thus, "Cookery means the knowledge of Medea and Circe and of Helen and of the Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all herbs and fruits and balms and spices, and all that is healing and sweet in the fields and groves, and savory in meats. It means carefulness and inventiveness and willingness and readiness of appliances. It means the economy of your grandmothers and the science of the modern chemist; it means much testing and no wasting; it means English thoroughness and French art and Arabian hospitality; and, in fine, it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies - loaf givers."
Cookery is one of the oldest of the arts among women. There is, perhaps, a larger percentage of women all over the world engaged in this particular art, than any other.
