Med K9657 PINIONS FROM THE PRESS. “Not many books of the kind are at once so modest in aims and so thorough in achievement.” — Daily Mail. “ For general every-day use it would be difficult to improve upon ‘ The A i Cookery Book.’ It is particularly strong in recipes for cakes and bread, sweets and puddings.” — Globe. “Ought to be in the hands of all ladies commencing house- keeping.”— Sunday Times. “The general directions on page 114 [now page 124] are worth their weight in Bank Notes.” — Daily News. “ Can be confidently commended to those who, however much they may believe in plain living and high thinking, desire to have their plain food daintily prepared. ‘ Quality, Simplicity, and Variety ’ form the triple aim of the author, and we believe that he (or she) has fairly realised this fine ideal.” — Morning Post. “ So clearly and simply written that young housekeepers should find it indispensable. The author has made a special point of studying the masculine taste, which deserves to be highly com- mended. "—Morning A dvertiser. “ Is simplicity itself compared with many of its rivals The plan of the book calls for special mention, the different classes of food appropriate to different meals being admirably arranged.” — Daily Graphic. IV PRESS OPINIONS. “Such a manual as this ought to be dear to the heart of the thrifty housewife There is great variety in the suggestions offered to the housekeeper, and they do not lack in point of daintiness.” — Irish Times. “ This is a most excellent book compiled on the most simple lines.” — Newcastle Journal. “We find the recipes good, clearly described, well arranged, and comprehensive.” — Birmingham Gazette. “ The young wife will find in it fresh hope and inspiration for the future.” — The Speaker. “We congratulate H. N. L. on a most excellent little work.” — The Hospital. “ The book should obtain a wide popularity. All its contents are formed to meet, and exactly do meet, the requirements of the ordinary middle-class household. A better variety of food could not be imagined.” — Northampton Herald.
