INTRODUCTION. MANY excellent and exhaustive works on Cookery no doubt there are, but the Author hopes, agreeing with Owen Meredith in the following lines, that there is room for another. We may live without poetry, music, or art ; We may live without conscience, and live without heart ; We may live without friends, we may live without books ; But civilised man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books — what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope— what is hope but deceiving ? He may live without love— what is passion but pining ? But where is the man who can live without dining ? “ Lucile,” by Owen Meredith.
