Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Thousand and One Useful Recipes and Valuable Hints About Cooking and Housekeeping Milk has been, since the dawn of Pastoral life, one of the chief mainstays of mankind, in health and in sickness. Two substances in daily use contain, each of them, the elements necessary to support life. The first is milk, which consists Of carbonaceous, nitrogenous and phosphatic elements in a Watery menstruum; the second is wheat, provided that the our used is Graham, or unbolted. Strange to say, however, they are, of all food stuffs, the most reduced in nutritive quality. The milk - by watering, skimming, and the substitution of that of sickly or ill-fed cows. The wheat, by the process of manufacturing fine white our, whereby it is deprived of almost all nitrogenous and phosphatic elements. For infants, milk is the only safe, and therefore requisite ediet. Before eight months, the glands which secrete the uid by which starchy ood is digested, have not developed. The success which the lower animals have in rearing their young to maturity, ought to be a lesson to our boasted civilization, where nearly one half of the children die before reaching the age of five years. Milk, pure and simple, should be given to infants, properly diluted and sweetened. And to children, with insist ance that it be drank slowly, and in much larger quantity than is usual. Sugar, 'molasses, butter, arrowroot, white our, etc., which the latter unfortunates are generally fed on, do not contain any tooth, bone, muscle or brain-forming elements; their constituents are carbonaceous, fat-forming and heat-givin g, and, given in excess, increase the tendency to in ammatory affections.

  • ISBN : 9781330020364
  • Pages : 741 pages

Download or read book The Century Cook Book written by Mary Ronald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 741 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Century Cook Book: With a New Supplement of One Hundred Receipts of Especial Excellence While the question of food and its preparation is the most vital and important one in the home, it is perhaps the most difficult of all the material questions that present themselves to the housekeepers in China, owing principally to the inability of the majority to speak the language of the country, and to make their orders intelligible to the cook. To meet this difficulty and at the same time with the hope of being able from its sale to aid the war fund, Mrs. Calder-Marshall originally planned to publish a smaller work, giving a limited number of recipes taken from authoritative sources, and to have it translated into Chinese. It soon became apparent to her, however that for such a book to have a real value, a more comprehensive work, one that should cover as nearly as possible all the phases of cooking would be necessary. The scope of the work, therefore, was enlarged until it now includes more than one thousand recipes. Many tried and approved recipes have been furnished by ladies in Shanghai and elsewhere, the largest contribution of this kind, and one that deserves special mention is that of Mrs. J. B. Fearn, M.D., who has prepared the entire chapter relating to sweets and candies, and has sent other valuable recipes as well. The editors and compilers have also made use of The Century Cook Book, Mrs. Beeton's Cook Book and The Boston Cooking School Magazine, all well known authorities on culinary matters. The recipes embodied in this work are adapted to the limitations of the local market; efforts having been made to exclude every recipe the ingredients of which can not be readily procured in China, and on the other hand to include some of the food products of China that are not commonly found in other countries. Tables of weights, and measures, cooking time-tables, valuable household hints, a chapter on Household hygiene, etc., have been incorporated to supplement the work and make it as far as possible a reliable guide for the housekeeper. To new arrivals in China some of the directions given may seem absurd and unnecessary, yet it is only by the utmost care and attention to details of cleanliness and the continual enforcement of the rules of sanitation that one may escape those illnesses due to contamination of food, that especially beset the resident in the Orient. That the proceeds might represent as nearly as possible the entire amount realized from the sale of the work, it was decided to incorporate advertisements that would appeal to the housekeeper, and it is due to the able assistance of the Harvey Advertising Agency that a part of the cost of printing and publishing has been distributed among many patriotic local firms. It is suggested that the housewife will find it worth while to make a study of the advertising in this book before purchasing supplies.

The best hostess is she who understands best how to make each guest feel free to enjoy her hospitality in his or her own way; and the evidence of loving thought counts for much more than lavish preparation or constant atten tion to one's guests.

This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Cook Book and Eonomical Housekeeper's Guide A large proportion of the receipts have been procured from experienced housewives, and no efforts have been Spared to render each one as correct and as good as possible. The mode of cookery is such as is practiced generally by American house-keepers, and the receipts embrace all the various branches of the culinary art, from preparing the most simple broth, to making the most delicate creams and sweetmeats. The receipts are all intended to be written in such a plain manner, that the most unskilled need not err in attempting to follow the directions given. In addition to the receipts for cooking, we have added Cookery for the Sick, Medicinal and Miscellaneous Receipts, which we trust will be found useful to the inexperienced. In conclusion, the writer would give her sincere thanks to those friends who have furnished her with their choice and valuable receipts; and to those into whose hands this book may fall, she would ask a fair trial of the receipts previous to passing judgment.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Housekeeper's Guide, or a Plain and Practical System of Domestic Cookery It is highly advantageous to act by a plan, from time to time observing how it answers, and introducing to it such improvements as circumstances may dictate. This is of essential importance, both as it regards expense, time, and social arrangements. Some attem ts have been made to fumish a scale of expenditure a apted to the number of individuals com posing a family and the income possessed. Particular cases will vary with circumstances. The home] adage, Cut your coat according to your cloth, will, however, admit an improvement. In no case must the coat be cut of a larger proportion than the cloth will allow neither is it necessary to cut the coat larger than to fit the wearer, merely for the sake of using up all the cloth. Let a fair proportion of income be allotted to household expenses; and if, through good management, a surplus of this allot ment should remain, it will be easy to find some pleasant and satisfactory way in which to appropriate it.
