Lessons In Cooking Through Preparation Of Meals | by Eva Robeeta Robinson

The problem of home cooking is to prepare appetizing and wholesome meals, with due regard to expenditure of time and money. The typical cooking course teaches the art by means of separate dishes, leaving the student at a loss when it comes to combining them or to preparing whole meals of several dishes at the same time. The beginner, with only a cook book for a guide, often attempts the most difficult and complicated dishes first, with failure and discouragement, loss of time and materials as the result. The cook book gives little help in serving wholesome food combination and a balanced diet. It does not answer the ever-present question, "What shall be provided for today, for tomorrow, for the day after?"
