Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mrs. Owens' Cook Book and Useful Household Hints: “Economical Household Management and the Mysteries of the Kitchen Are as Truly a Part of Domestic Culture as Are Music, Decorative Art and the Etiquet of the Drawing Room;” Every housewife has a notably good way of doing certain things. When it became known that this book was being compiled, letters came to the editor from friends living in all sections, containing choice cooking recipe, and hints for the household, culled from practical, everyday experiences In many cases, the writers collected from their immediate friends, thus adding to their list. The province of this book, then, is to present a large number of these successes in a desirable form for daily reference. The different departments will be found sufficiently elaborate for almost any occasion in domestic life. For the special benefit of our sisterhood who unite the qualities of wives, mothers and housemaids, the easiest way has been selected, whenever a choice could be made, with that end in view. The housewife whose means are unrestricted need not study little, harrowing details, trying to make one dollar do duty for five in providing for her table. But the masses must count their pennies and tighten their purse-strings when tempted to indulge the appetite beyond a prescribed limit. There are suggestions in these pages which, if carried out, will vary a bill of fare and make it pleasing to the eye and appetizing to the palate, at the smallest possible outlay of money. In the section devoted to "Hash" there are directions for using up remnants of food that will go very far towards furnishing the bulk of one meal per day to a family. These dishes are palatable, too, and very distinct from the often tasteless commodity known by that name. The inexpensive Cake recipes in this book are good in every case, and the cakes, if eaten fresh, are as satisfactory as the more expensive ones. It is to be hoped they will be given a fair trial before being frowned upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
