Originally published in 1915. A manual of cooking, diet, home managment and care of children for housekeepers who must conduct their homes with small expenditure of money. This is a fascinating read for any historian, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Chapters include; Food & the body, Economy in buying, General recipes, Calculation of costs and many more....Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
