Synopsis

This book presents practical instruction in the art of cooking. Rather than offer an exhaustive list of recipes, the author aims to provide readers with the skills to interpret written recipes and to understand the fundamental principles of food preparation. This book is notable for its wit and lively anecdotes, which the author employs to engage the reader while imparting essential cooking knowledge. The author asserts that helpless mistresses make helpless servants, and encourages her readers, particularly inexperienced housewives, to develop their own domestic skills. By fostering their independence in the kitchen, the author posits that women can assert their authority over their households. Ultimately, this book hopes to foster a more harmonious and comfortable domestic environment.
