The art of Cookery is every day receiving increased attention; and no wonder. Life is made all the brighter by satisfactory feeding; and he is a dull philosopher who despises a good dinner. The pleasures of the table are enjoyed by us more than a thousand times every year, and whoever thoroughly realises that fact will need neither argument nor eloquence to persuade him to an experimental acquaintance with all possible cooking processes and all possible recipes.
But the strong point of good cookery is not its gratification of the palate, but its influence on health. This is a matter of far greater importance than is generally thought. It is no exaggeration to say that the explanation of many fatal disorders is to be found in nothing but badly-cooked and ill-assorted viands. Our households would enjoy better health, and be better able to withstand sickness when it came, if pains were only taken to have food well chosen and properly made ready. Every housekeeper, then, will give the subject of eating and drinking a prominent place in her daily round of duties.
