THE PREMIER PRESS NEW YORK ©CIA275437 DEDICATED To two of the dearest little girls that ever learned to cook. Preface This book has been prepared with the special purpose of assisting mothers throughout the country to train their small daughters in the art of cookery. Scarcely any child can be trusted to take a recipe and work alone, as the clearest directions need the watchful supervision of an ex- perienced woman, who can detect the coming mis- take and explain the reason for doing things in a certain way. All children like to experiment in the kitchen, and instead of allowing them to become an an- noyance, they should be so directed that their ef- forts will result in immediate help to the mother and prove invaluable life lessons to the little ones themselves. Nothing is really more pitiable than the helpless woman who, when occasion demands, finds herself unable to do ordinary cooking. And that young wife is blessed indeed who has been prepared for her duties in the home by a con- scientious mother. Therefore let no woman think it too much trouble to teach her child the prepara- tion of various kinds of food, impressing on her PREFACE at the same time the dignity and importance of the work. The following articles, though considerably lengthened and rearranged, were written at the request of the Editor, and ran for a year in Pic- torial Review; and the encouraging letters they elicited from women and children everywhere, prompted this publication in book form. The in- tention has been not to make a complete manual of cookery, but instead to create interest in enough branches to enable an otherwise inexperie/nced person to successfully put together any good recipe. Thanks are also due for the use of ma- terial appearing in The Circle and Harper's Bazar. Olive Hyde Foster. CONTENTS CHAPTER I. Good things for breakfast II. Using odds and ends III.
