PREFACE
WHAT is the excuse for including the following
work in a series on Technology ?
This question may be answered by quoting
the following passage from the Report of one of the
Moseley Commissioners :
4 The term “Technical Education ” has several con-
notations ; sometimes the strictly mechanic arts point
of view is adhered to, sometimes it1 is understood as
that form of education which helps a man to earn a
living.’
As a considerable number of women do earn their
living by teaching cookery, it is hoped that the follow-
ing hints may be of service to them, either during their
training or afterwards.
During the past five or six years, it has been curious
to watch the development of domestic economy
teaching.
In some quarters science has been regarded as an
enemy to practical cookery, whereas practical cookery
is enormously improved by a thorough knowledge of
scientific principles combined with manual dexterity.
VI
INSTRUCTION IN COOKERY
All teachers should try to study their subject from
every side ; and the more truly scientific their knowledge
is, the sounder their methods of practice are.
This little book does not pretend to be a recipe
book, but to give a few practical hints on the conduct
of classes. Some few recipes are given which I have
from time to time collected. Some are from the
number of recipes which Miss Peacock, of the Leeds
Training-School, has compiled, and this, in itself, will
be a guarantee that they are practical.
