INTERVIEWING THE COOK — The Home Cook Book THE Home Cook Book A COLLECTION OF PRACTICAL RECEIPTS BY EXPERT COOKS "To be a good cook means the knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms and spices, and of all that is healing and sweet in tields and groves, savory in meats. It means carefulness, inventiveness, watchfulness, willingness, and readiness of appliance. It means the economy of your great-grandmother and the science of modern chemistry ; it means much tasting and no wasting ; it means English thoroughness, French art, and Arabian hospitality ; it means, in fine, that you are to be perfectly and always ladies (loaf-givers), and are to see that everybody has something nice to eat." — Ruskin.
