The International Cook Book has been compiled and com- pleted, after many years' experience in research, study, testing, and proving the world's requirements, that it may justly be accredited The World's Most Practical Cook Book. You will find this book the world's most complete treatment of Food and Service divided into the four following sections. Section One — Menus and Table Service What foods shall we serve together? This is a question that is more frequently asked than almost anything else. It is a known fact that good food is often spoiled by having it served in com- bination with something else that does not blend with it either in color or flavor. In Section One we discuss food so as to give help in planning and serving attractive meals to the family. Each menu has been carefully taken into consideration by itself, and the combination of food suggested with directions given will be of help to even the uninitiated. Suggested menus for all occasions are given. Good food is frequently ruined by amateurish table service. ReaHzing that Ser\'ice is as important to the meal as the food itseK, complete information is given as to how to serve properly for all occasions — the arrangement of the silver, the tablecloth, and napkins, the dishes, glasses, and the decorations. All rec- ipes for dishes suggested in Menus will be found in Section Two. See Index for pages. Section Two — Recipes. Section Three — Iniernational Recipes In the planning and writing of The International Cook Book, only recipes are given which can easily be applied to home use. XIV INTRODUCTION The whole world holds a wealth of cookery knowledge, but not many of us are aware that outside of our small realm food is sers'ed that is ' 'different." It is our purpose to help housewares incorporate this colorful palatable food into their menus that has inspired us to compile The International Cook Book. We have gathered from the leading chefs of the world the best that they have to offer and have translated their recipes so that they may easily be used in the home kitchen. Every recipe, both foreign and domestic, has been Home Tested.
