In order to further carry out our policy of "Service for Women" the National League is publishing this little book to help all those women who are interested in good meals - their preparation and service. Recipes alone do not constitute a meal, so we are including combinations of various foods in various ways.

The recipes we are publishing in this book are largely those which have been very popular in the Restaurant of the National League for Woman's Service. The others are choice, family recipes which have not been published in any form before. For more information along culinary lines we recommend: "The Boston Cooking School Cook Book" by Fannie Merritt Farmer for general use; "Food And Cookery For The Sick," by Miss Farmer, or "Invalid Cookery," by Sarah Hill, for dishes for invalids.

The menus here listed are very simple and designed for the small home which has but one servant or perhaps none. Any of the menus might be prepared and served by the hostess herself without making a disagreeable task of meal preparation.
