In compiling, we have had before us three special objects: 1, To adapt it to our peculiar dietary laws; 2, To make it suitable for young housekeepers; and 3, To fit it for use in the cookery classes now fairly started in our midst... including a few old-fashioned, high-class recipes, and some special hints on Passover and Invalid cookery."
