The average\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ehousewife is  intensely  interested  in  the result  of these  findings,  and  must  keep  in  touch  with\u003cbr\u003ethem to  keep  up with  the  times and run her home in  an  intelligent  and economical as well as\u003cbr\u003ehealthful routine.\u003cbr\u003eThe eternal feminine question is, \"What shall we have for dinner to-day?\" It is not always the\u003cbr\u003eeasiest  thing  in  the  world  to  think  of  a  seasonable  menu,  nor  to  determine  just  the  right\u003cbr\u003ecombination that will furnish a meal appetizing and well-balanced in food values. Furthermore,\u003cbr\u003eboth the expense and the amount of work entailed in preparation must be considered.\u003cbr\u003eThis Cook Book is especially designed to meet just that pressing daily need of the housewife.\u003cbr\u003eIt presents for her guidance a menu for every Sunday dinner  in the year; it suggests dishes which\u003cbr\u003eare seasonable as well as practical; it tells in a simple, intelligent manner just how these dishes\u003cbr\u003ecan  be  made  in  the  most  wholesome  and  economical  form;  and  the  recipes  have  all  been\u003cbr\u003eespecially made for this book and tested by that eminent expert, Mrs. Elizabeth O. Hiller.\u003cbr\u003eThe title of \"52 Sunday Dinners\" has been given the book because Sunday dinners as a rule\u003cbr\u003eare  a  little  more  elaborate  than the  other  dinners of  the  week,  but  from  these menus may  be\u003cbr\u003egleaned helpful hints for daily use.\u003cbr\u003eWhile climatic conditions differ somewhat in various sections of the country, we have tried to\u003cbr\u003eapproximate the general average, so\u003cbr\u003ethat the suggestions might be as valuable to the housewife\u003cbr\u003e[4]\u003cbr\u003ein New England as to the housewife in the West or South, or vice versa.\u003cbr\u003eSimplicity,  economy  and  wholesomeness  have  been  given  preferred  attention  in  the\u003cbr\u003epreparation of these recipes, many of which are here presented for the first time.\u003cbr\u003eIn the interest of health and economy a number of the recipes suggest the use of Cottolene—a\u003cbr\u003efrying and shortening medium of unquestioned purity—in place of butter or lard. Cottolene is a\u003cbr\u003evegetable shortening, pure in source and manufactured amid cleanly favorable surroundings. It is\u003cbr\u003eno new,  untried  experiment,  having  been  used  by  domestic science  experts  and thousands  of\u003cbr\u003ehousewives  for  nearly twenty  years;  to  them  Cottolene for  shortening and frying is  \"equal  to\u003cbr\u003ebutter at half the price, better and more healthful than lard—and more economical than either.\"\u003cbr\u003eWe,  therefore,  offer  no  apologies  for  the  small  proportion  of  recipes  specif ying  the  use  of\u003cbr\u003eCottolene, and suggest that a trial will convince any housewife that Cottolene makes better food\u003cbr\u003ethan  either  butter  or  lard,  and  is  preferable  from  the  standpoints  of  efficiency,  economy  and\u003cbr\u003ehealthfulness.\u003cbr\u003eWe  commend  this  book  to  your  critical  inspection  and  test,  believing  you  will  find  it\u003cbr\u003econvenient, helpful, unique and pointing the way to better and more economical living.","brand":"Dawn Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165392519408,"sku":"2940014148023","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014148023_p0.jpg?v=1763601533","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014148023","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
