Presented as published in 1900. Historical recipes may not meet modern food-safety standards. Cook from the modern interpretation, not the original instructions.
At the end of the book I have put a few recipes which I have no doubt will appear dull, but, in spite of adverse opinion, I believe that there are manv children to whom it is a real pleasure to have it in their power to do a kindness to those who are ill. I have therefore added a few very simple recipes suitable for sick people, and I am quite sure that some of my readers will be very glad to know how to make gruel, &c., properly. I know that if they master them thoroughly, there will come a day when they will find the knowledge useful. LOUISA S.
