CHAPTER XX
COOKERY FOR THE SICK AND CONVALESCENT
The preparation of food for the sick and convalescent person is even more important than the preparation for the strong and well. Certain points should always be considered. The food should be freshly prepared, daintily served, and if possible different dishes for each meal.
The arrangement of the tray is often of great importance. Select attractive dishes and arrange them so that the patient can reach them without trouble. Serve everything which should be hot, very hot, and cold dishes, ice cold.
