ANNOUNCEMENT
"LESSONS IN COOKING, THROUGH THE PREP-
ARATION OF MEALS."
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."
