By CAROLINE B. KING
MRS. KING has approached the science of cookery from a new angle. She has gone to the very root of the principles of cookery, and presented them in a way entirely novel.
Mrs. King's intention has been to supply a systematic knowledge of how foods are prepared for the table, instead of an analysis of food values or a list of recipes. From this book the housewife with little experience will learn the essential rudiments of cookery, and comprehend how to build upon a basic formula so that any dish, however elaborate it may sound, or any combination of food materials may be undertaken confidently and successfully.
