One or two of the recipes from my other books will be found again in this, illustrated, which will better explain how they should appear when gar- nished ; and at any time I shall be pleased to answer any questions relating to ' A la Mode Cookery ' upon which my readers desire information. In conclusion, may I add the words of Owen Meredith, who writes : We may live without poetry, music, or art ; We may live without conscience and love 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 ?
