INTRODUCTION
__________
THE success which has attended twenty editions of TRIED
FAVOURITES has abundantly proved that, even in these days
when Cookery Books flood the market, and almost every newspaper
has its household column, our book of “tried” and proved “favourites”
has found its place.
The need for good, nourishing food, well cooked and tastefully
served, is the need of all ages. It has been said that they who provide
the food of the world decide the health of the world. That being the
case, the more knowledge there can be disseminated on such an important subject the better ; and the result of long years’ knowledge
bought by experience cannot fail to help many a perplexed housewife
in these days of hurry and high pressure.
As was stated in the first edition, the book does not claim to be
entirely original. The idea is that every housewife has her own special
recipes, or tit-bits of household information, the result of practical
experience. These tested recipes, many of them gathered from a wide
circle of friends, have formed a most useful Cookery Book, as has been
amply proved by the success and rapid sale of twenty editions.
