Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Low Cost Cooking
In Many ways the business of home-making is the most important one in the world. To carry it on successfully requires no less thought, study and work than the merchant or mechanic gives to his business. Success is well repaid and failure brings wretchedness. The successful home-maker has well-fed, well-kept, well-trained children and a husband who, through proper home care, is made able to do his work and earn the money needed to pay the expenses of the home. The unsuccessful home-maker very often has sickly, poorly-developed children and a husband whose work is made less productive by the poor home conditions; or, in many cases, one who satisfies with strong drink the craving left by lack of proper food.
With plenty of money the average woman can easily furnish her family with comfortable living conditions and good food. The smaller the amount of money on which the home must be run and food bought the greater is the need of the home-maker for wisdom and skill in management. This book is compiled especially for the woman who has little money to spend, the endeavor being to give, as simply as possible, the things she most needs to know in order to get the best results from her money. Many women who are compelled to manage with the smallest possible amount have helped greatly in making the book by giving recipes and plans which they have found useful in their attempts to economize.
Economizing on food is a most dangerous thing to try unless the housekeeper has an understanding of food values.
