THIS new correspondence course in cookery has been prepared to meet the needs of home-makers who have had little or no systematic training in modern methods of cooking but who desire to provide for their families sim- ple, yet appetizing and wholesome meals, with the last ex- penditure of time, effort and money. The ordinary cook book, with its numerous and compli- cated recipes, is of little help to the beginner. It does not answer the oft occurring question, "What shall I provide for today, tomorrow, for next week"? It gives no hint of wholesome food combinations or balanced diet. The problem of- home cooking is not only how to cook- various separate dishes but how to prepare whole meals. The plan of "Lessons in Cooking" is unique and original in that a systematic course in cooking is taught through a series 'of menus, with detailed directions, not only for cooking the separate dishes, but also for preparing and serving each meal as a whole. The course is divided into twelve parts, in each of which is given the recipes for a week's menu, typical of one month of the year — over 250 meals in all. In the first lessons, simple operations of cooking are described and gradually the more difficult and complicated recipes are in- troduced, leading to advanced work in the later lessons. Throughout the course the question of wholesome food com- binations and balanced meals is carefully considered and special emphasis is given to economy of time and money. All available authorities have been consulted and the assistance of a number of prominent teachers of cookery has been obtained in the preparation of this course, which presents the best modern methods and the latest scientific discoveries relating to the "Fine Art of Cooking."
