THE PRACTICAL COOK Frances Dale With Illustrations bj Nigel Mould
IN this up-to-the-minute Kitchen Encyclopedia, Frances Dale has supplied an exhaustive range of information for the home cook. The author is a cook-hostess, long inured to the present-day déficiences in household staff, and she therefore writes with a full and sympathetic understanding of the difficulties her readers are likely to encounter. She frankly admits to a great love for the arts and virtues of good cuisine. She invites experiments, encourages novelties and makes this work both an invaluable textbook and a stimulus to the individual imagination. In the vast range of recipes totalling more than a thousand, are simple dishes, needing the minimum of expenditure of labour and ingredients; himdreds of appropriately economical recipes and some exquisitely tantalising glimpses of what could be done in the past and may one day be done again. Notable are the chapters on garnish, with their annotated illustrations, so clearly set out that a beginner can follow them with ease ; the menus for the cook-hostess, timed and scheduled to the last detail ; and the time-saving chapter on batch cookery, so outstandingly helpful to busy women.
Here is something for everyone, and a great deal for a great many by a woman who knows and understands her subject and writes of it with respect and enthusiasm.
