If you’re interested in how cooking has evolved, and what skills a cook was expected to know at a particular period of time, then this book will be of historical interest to you. It’s also an interesting window into the science of cooking, as it was known in the 1920s.

There may be some useful information in this book, but I just couldn’t get past the obviously obsolete aspect of it. There are hints on how to most effeciently wash dishes (by hand, in a sink) and statements about how every “girl” should know how to make her table look attractive, and advice on lighting a gas stove by hand. I just can’t wade through this type of culinary perspective to glean the useful elements. I didn’t realize the book would be so outdated or I wouldn’t have purchased.
