Healthful and Palatable.
The most important question with all interested and intelligent housekeepers should be “What can I prepare for my table that will beHealthfulandPalatable?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention is given to the health and strength giving qualities of the dishes described, and a large part of the directions are useless (for never followed) and in many cases harmful (if tried).
What is needed is a practical work in which these conditions are carefully considered and one which is simple enough to be easily understood.
A recent publication,Health in the Household, by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a lady physician and a practical housekeeper, covers this ground very fully and can be recommended. It considers the value of the different food products, the best methods of preparation, and the reason why.
The ChicagoInter-Oceansays: “She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes; it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”
“She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and devotes the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to good blood, strong bodies, and vigorous minds,” saysThe New Haven Register.
Housekeepers who consult this will be able to provide for the household that which will positively please and increase the happiness by increasing the healthful conditions.
