See what the Critics and Practical Housekeepers say about it:
“In the hands of the author, whose name is well known in another department of literature, the subject has been treated with thoroughness and skill, showing that a little common sense may be as successful in the concoction of a toothsome viand as in the composition of a romance.”—N. Y. Daily Tribune.
“It inspires us with a great respect for the housewifery of a literary lady, and we cannot err in predicting for it a wide popularity.”—N. Y. Evening Post.
“Unites the merits of a trustworthy receipt-book with the freshness of a familiar talk on household affairs.”—Albany Evening Journal.
“The directions are clear, practical, and so good in their way that the only wonder is how any one head could hold so many pots, kettles and pans, and such a world of gastronomic good things.”—Hearth and Home.
“The recipes are clearly expressed, easy to follow, and not at all expensive. The suggestions about household affairs are chic. On a test comparison with three other American cook-books, it comes out ahead upon every count. Beyond this experto credo nothing more need be said.”—Christian Union.
