them, noted down and kept for their real value and excellence.
And we believe an examination will show that wre have collected a
large variety, both of rich and elegant dishes and of the plain,
healthful viands suited to those who wish to combine comfort with
economy. But throughout we have sought to find that happy mean
between too much and too little, to include whatever was useful, and
not burden our book with superfluous matter. We have therefore
excluded every thing which has not been tested and found to be the
best; and have given special directions as to bills of fare, menu, and
the art of entertaining, besides a miscellaneous chapter that pertains
rather to housekeeping than to cooking, the pertinence of which is
apparent. It will also be found that each department has a special
introduction intended to be complete within itself.
We know but too well that women are slow to learn from the ex-
perience of others; and too often the young housekeeper begins as a
novice, and blunders into practical knowledge only after many la-
borious and costly experiments. To such we offer, in The New
Kentucky Home Cook Book, what we believe will be an almost
perfect guide. And if, in its compilation, we have succeeded in
lightening the task and making more pleasant the labyrinthine
round of household duties, and in adding to the home joys of our
sisters, we shall feel ourselves abundantly rewarded.
