Excerpt from Boston Receipts: Containing Over Two Hundred Common-Sense Receipts, for Economical and Healthful Cooking, Tested by a Housekeeper of Twenty Years' Experience In the hope that they may prove a welcome assistant to the inexperienced and to those desirous of making the kitchen and dining-room places to be enjoyed, not dreaded, an effort has been made to simplify these receipts, and to select these only which are practical and economical; as in housekeeping it is not so much what is used as what is wasted that makes living so expensive. The home influence of a wife and mother depends more than we realize upon the knowledge she may have of the kitchen, and the good nature of the husband and family on an orderly house and well-served meals.
