A Friend in the Kitchen
By Anna L. Colcord
FOURTEEN editions of this successful and practical book, aggregating one hundred and twenty-five thousand copies, have been printed. It has met a hearty reception by the general public because it is up-to-date. It does not go to extremes. It discards all harmful ingredients. It is thoroughly hygienic and common sense. It tells how to live economically, yet well. Every recipe in it has been thoroughly tested. It contains what every housewife wants to know. It is adapted to all classes, rich and poor alike. It tells what to cook for health, and how to cook it. It tells how to feed infants, and how to cook for the sick. Its recipes call for materials which most housewives have at hand. Its directions are all concise, yet plain and explicit. The quantity of ingredients is directed by measure rather than by weight. It is not an advertising medium for anybody's manufactured foods. It is substantially bound, and is what its title indicates, “A Friend in the Kitchen.” Price, paper covers, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.
