INTRODUCTION
— > —
Housekeeping has become such an art that fashions
in cooking and entertaining* are as necessary as modes
in furniture and glass or china, and with very little
care, forethought, and savoir /aire, most charming
little dinners and luncheons can be given and served
in a simple yet dainty fashion, without any very large
expenditure. In these Jin de siccle days so many
gentlewomen have made themselves mistresses of the
art of cooking that there is every reason to hope
that domestic cooks, by the good example of their
mistresses, will become more adept in their art.
The dearth of cooks, however, is one universal
complaint, and it does seem extraordinary that there
should be such a paucity.
From personal experience I could relate the most
ludicrous yet reprehensible anecdotes of mistakes
made by cooks, many often wilful ones. Now, if
young girls would only make cookery one of their
accomplishments (and I really think the rudiments
of cookery ought to form part of every woman's
education), I feel sure the usual everyday household
cooking would be much improved, as they then could
