Excerpt from The New and the Old in Cookery
Good and sufficient food, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, temperance in all things, and a cheerful disposition, are the chief remedies in Nature's Dispensary. If good food is one of Nature's requirements for perfect health, it should be the study of every house-keeper to have all articles of food prepared in the best manner, and also daintily garnished; for often a few bits of green or flowers render a dish attractive to a capricious appetite.
Do not smile, experienced house-keeper, when you meet with the old recipes, for it must be remembered that new households are forming every day, the managers of which may be inexperienced and will need these as well. In justice to the writer never remark, as a lady was heard to say: "I made that sauce just as I was directed, but it was not good;" for, as a matter of fact, the same recipe was tried by another with success. Thus it is seen the fault is not always in the directions, but in carrying them out and it is earnestly recommended that, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
