PREFACE

TO

_THE REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION_.

During the time that this little book has been a candidate for public
favor, it has attained a success far beyond the expectations of its most
sanguine advocates; and in issuing this revised and enlarged edition the
author returns her sincere thanks to both press and public, who have so
substantially seconded her efforts for culinary reform.

In this edition an additional chapter has been devoted to the
preparation of fruit for dessert, with special reference to the needs of
American housewives. Most American ladies prepare fruit for table use
either by canning it, or making it into rich and expensive preserves;
while both of these methods are palatable, and available for winter use,
the receipts given in the closing chapter will provide a welcome variety
for serving fresh fruits at the table, and will tend to increase the
healthy consumption of those abundant and excellent domestic
productions, while they cannot fail to decrease the deplorable
prevalence of that objectionable national compound, the pie.
