Home Cookery in War-Time #265895

A charming lady, who is also a good cook and a clear writer, had promised to write for the publisher of this volume a little manual of Home Cookery in War time. The Red Cross called her away before the first page was written and I am bidden to step into the breach. For a man who is one year too old to join anything more important than a Home Defence corps, it is some consolation to try and serve his countrymen in another way. Cuisine c'est médecine, said Michelet; and good cookery is a cure for the mind's as well as the body's ills, besides being cheaper in the end.
