tendent of the Raleigh IN. CO Cooking
School; author of Chips from a Northwest
ern Log" etc. 16mo. Cloth, 81 90.
This volume strikes us as an improve
ment upon all the cookery books yet
gwen to the public. The author, a
Southern lady of culture and experience,
in the opening chapters of her book
treats of the situation and arrangement
Of the house; ventilation, drainage, and
water supply; daily routine of work;
fires, lights and utensils; washing; food
and health: condiments and beverages,
etc. Part ii. treats Of marketing and
cooking, with several hundred excellent
practical recipes and hints from
the cookery of other nations; yet
neither on the basis Of h~igh-spiced
luxury, nor that of meals costing $50
cents for % people," but such as are
needed by the vast majority of American
families, namely, people In moderate
circumstances" The peculiar value of
the book lies in this fact, and in the ad-
ditional n that the author leaves moth
ing to be done according to taste" or
according to judgment" but specifies
in each case the tablespoonful of but
ter" or the "half a teaspOonful of salt"
and the exact amount of pepper or what
not, with directions to ''bake an hour"
or boil an hour and a half" Or ''allow
so-and-so many minutes to the pound"
etc, knowing that where cooks become
experienced and skillful enough to have
any ''taste" or Judgment" they will
vary instructions in their own way.
