Excerpt - Preface:
This volume, which is the second of the Woman’s Institute Library of Cookery, deals with such essentials of diet as the dairy products – milk, butter, and cheese – the protein food, eggs, and the energy-producing nutrients, vegetables…

…

In addition to the instruction in these matters, there are a large number of illustrations, which make clear the important details in every process employed and in many recipes show certain steps as well as the finished result. With such detailed information, it is our desire that as many of the recipes as possible be tried, for it is only through constant practice that the rules and principles of cookery will become thoroughly instilled in the mind. Nothing is of more value to the housewife than such a knowledge of food and its preparation, for, as every one knows, proper diet is the chief requisite of good health.

To be of the greatest assistance to the woman in the home is the purpose of these volumes- to relive her household tasks of much of their drudgery and to help her come to a realization of the opportunity for good that is hers. In no better way can she create happiness and contentment in her home than by preparing appetizing, nutritious meals and serving them in the most attractive manner.

While these are not in such common use as the domestic cheeses, it is well for every one to know their names and the characteristics by which they can be identified…
