THE NEW KENTUCKY HOIE gOOK BOOK, CHAPTER ON DINNER GIVING. IN placing this volume before the public, we, as represent- atives of Kentucky homes, desire to merit the approba- tion of all who may become purchasers, by its intrinsic worth as a faithful guide either for matron or maid, how- ever inexperienced they may be in the culinary department. May we not hope to sustain the reputation of Kentucky homes for hospitality, not only by the excellence of its viands, as shown in the carefully-written and well-tested receipts given, but also by the simplicity and clearness of all directions pertaining to its several departments? While we confess a certain pride in the quality and correctness of our receipts, we are forced to acknowledge that there are other items, essential to the comfort and pleasure either in the home circle or in the entertainment of friends, which de- mand some notice. It will be well for one to remember that a repast may be prepared sumptuously as far as the combining of ingredients, and receive all necessary care and attention from an experienced cook, and yet if not served with taste and delicacy it will fail to tempt the appetite or please the eye. We will therefore mention a few items nec- essary in the arrangement of a repast that will gratify any mind that is capable of comprehending the beautiful.
