KNOWLEDGE Of cookery does
" not come by nature. although
n many persons seem 10 think It
does. If one may judge from the
( little trouble they take to prepare them
selves for the work Neither is it a
F-'knack' that cen be picked up at win
and requires no preliminary instruction.
Anyone VINO wishes skill in the prac-
( Iice Of cooking has TO work To- It as
(. for any other profession. The great ad-
vantage of 1t over many other kinds OF
work is that even n little attention and
Tabor will produce good results, and that
fsuch results appear at an early stage OF
the study.
Cookery has been called an exact
? science, and In n way this is true. But
kit is not like chemistry In its exactness-
rather like agriculture, which. after the
\ best efforts have been made. must in a
sgreat degree depend for success upon
( the weather. So In cookery perfect
fwork IN preparation may sometimes be
ksspoiled by the eccentricities Of the oven
or the fluctuations Of the fire.
Barring such accidents as these. how
ever, one may be fairly sure OF good eff
I fects, II one goes about the task in the
right way. A few things even the born
cook must know to start with. or there
I Will he & failure.
/ OF course. the ideal method Of learn
ling cookery is by the practical direction
of a skiuful teaeher-not by attendance
at a cooking school, but by work in a
Kitchen, where. in the good old style
Iinculcated by the immortal Mr. Squeers,
we spell Il first and then go and do H..
In other words, II one have a good
lcook book. and a competent cook at
ones elbow to give a few needed direc-
ltions and corrections, one can learn
lmore quic'cly by experience than I'm any
other way.
