PREFACE
The principal aim in preparing
this book has been to give an accu–
rate collection of approved recipes
for general purposes. The work is
essentially ·what
it
claims to be- a
Reminder. ..A.11
historical details
have been omitted, and popular and
simple descriptions have, wherever
possible, been preferred to technical
and scientific language. These direc–
tions can be relied upon as accurate,
~MAN
as they have been thoroughly exam–
ined by your bumble servant and
O
ARGpractically tested by m e and other
competent men before being given
to the public. .
There are many new recipes con–
tained in this book never before pub–
lished, and all are up-to-date.
You will also find a few blank
pages
in
the back of this book to
write in any new concoction that you
may learn.
I remain,
Yours respectfully,
JAKE DIDIER:
