Excerpt from The Economist
"With apron neat, and face so sweet
It pays all eyes for looking,
The Yankee wife, as sure as life,
Can beat the world in cooking."
This little volume does not claim to be an elaborate treatise on cooking, and may fall far short of the conventional standard of professional work. But for the recipes contained in it we have no apology. The names attached are a guarantee of their excellence. The aim has been to get simple rules, which could be easily followed, and would give best results, with least, expenditure of time and money. A few came in too late to be placed in regular order and will be found under head of Additional Recipes.
When you consider how much depends on good cooking, its value cannot be over-estimated. Napoleon was said to have lost the battle of Waterloo through a fit of indigestion, (due doubtless to poor cooking and the need of such simple, healthful formula; as this book contains).
