Soups

and

Entrees

(Vachon).

This

book

was

written

in

response

to

a

demand

for

a

book

that

would

tell

how

to

prepare

savory

dishes

from

inexpensive

mate-

rials

at

small

cost

;

and,

in

particular,

how

to

use

up

left-

overs

;

by

which

is

meant

good

cooked

foods

not

served

at

a

previous

meal,

and

which

have

not

in

any

way

lost

their

marketable

value

in

the

sense

of

deterioration

of

quality,

but

which

can

be

served

in

hotel

or

restaurant

in

the

same

appetizing

manner

that

leftovers

are

served

in

well-to-do

families.
