N the large correspondence that
comes to my desk daily there
L seems to be one threnody over
and over again -. what to eat
and how to cook it!
In spite of the great number OF
cookbooks on the market, and of the
multitude of articles in periodicals
dealing with the meal question, the
housekeeper Is as much in the dark
as before. What she needs is a
we.l-chosen selection of books, each
with a different viewpoint on the
cooking problem. and not simply a
collection of recipes which repeat
themselves.
When n new housekeeper comes to
me for help in the three-meals-a-dsy
problem, l do not ask her first to
read or follow cookbook at all.
want her first to know what kinds
of foods there are, what their diff
ferent values are to the body, and
wholesome diet. Some women have
been cooking all their lives, and
don't know the difference between
the food value of rice and beans, or
who cheerfully feed their family
four starches at the same meal. Be
fore cooking at all We must learn
the why of all cooking.
The next step preceding actual
cooking, would be buying and mar
keting, including knowledge of meat
cuts. seasons for meat and veget-
abies. and information as to how to
buy canned goods. staples, and other
supplies.

There has been too much following
OF detached recipes without a wom-
an understanding the principles of
certain cooking processes which un-
derly perhaps dozens of recipes.
To illustrate: A young girl with
a short domestic science course to
her credit WAS asked to prepare
dish of creamed turnips. She
replied she had never creamed tur-
nips and did not know how to do 1t.
But did you never prepare cream
ed cabbage, or creamed cauliflow-
er or any other creamed vegeta-
ble?" She said she had-but she
had not thought to apply the
creaming principles of one dish to
any other dish. Many expert
housekeepers. too. have to find out
by themselves the principles of
any particular cooking process by
long experiment when they should
have known them before proceed
ing with cooking at all.
once these steps are learned in
order, the time to begin actual
cooking and meal planning has
come. Here is where the first
cook book enters and it should be
a standard reference book, the
housekeeper can then go on to ac-
quire speciality cook-books on diff
ferent foods or on different meth
DDS of foreign cooking.
Develop Recipes.
From her experience. she should
develop original or modified recipes
which exactly suit the needs of
her particular family. These rec
ipes are best kept on separate
cards, grouped according to sub
ject. They may occupy a small!
box or drawer on the shelf over
