The writer, having been for many years engaged in
teaching Cookery, has compiled this book as the result
of her practical experience, with a desire to put into
the hands of housekeepers a guide to Household
Cookery and Laundry Work, and a few hints on
Household Management. Having fully tested all the
recipes given, she can with confidence recommend them
on account of their correctness, as well as for their sim-
plicity and economy.
Having been engaged for many years teaching
Cookery in Schools, the writer has made it an endea-
vour to adapt her instructions so as to supply a text-book
alike suitable for Junior and Senior Classes.

INTRODUCTION,
A great deal more of a country’s prosperity depends
upon comfortable homes than philosophers might be
willing to acknowledge; for people cannot prosecute
business with great energy, or study with much enjoy-
ment or profit, if there are worries at home, or muddle
and discomfort there. This is quite apparent to all, and
though it seems a matter of minor importance com-
pared with the great interests and objects that have
to be carried on out of doors, yet if the household
machinery is out of order, or not moving smoothly,
the derangement may be carried forward till very im-
portant interests are disturbed.
The home is the nursery of the present and future
inhabitants of a country, and the care of the home
devolves generally upon woman — in our country, at
all events, it does so universally; and by the manner
in which she performs her most important duties, not
only the present comfort, but it may be the future
destinies, of the inmates may be influenced, if not
moulded. Incapacity on her part leads to many certain
evils — disorder, waste, and muddle ; and may have still
worse effects on the health and tempers of the family.
Whatever other duties a woman may have, she must
either manage her house herself or devolve the care
of it upon some other woman; consequently all women
should be carefully trained for this their occupation.
