“This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome food, and gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that will make luxuries for the palate out of many simple productions of Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”——_Home Journal._ “Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the equal in all respects, and superior to many of its predecessors. Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with all the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an ample household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs. Dodds’ book, material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen administration.”——_N. Y. Star._ “The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to those who will intelligently appreciate the author’s stand-point. And there are but few who will not concede that it would be a public benefit if our people generally would become better informed as to the better mode of living than the author intends.”——_Scientific American._ “She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”——_The Daily Inter-Ocean_, Chicago, Ill. “The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every well-regulated cuisine.”——_Indianapolis Journal._ “As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery, there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings the subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an average housekeeper.”——_Methodist Recorder._ “In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically, and yet has made her instructions entirely practical. The book will certainly prove useful, and if its precepts could be universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably lengthened.”——_Springfield Union._ “Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It seems to be a very sensible addition to the voluminous literature on this subject, which ordinarily has little reference to the hygienic character of the preparations which are described.”——_Zion’s Herald._ “This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while yet based upon scientific principles——in short, the best. If it were in every household, there would be far less misery in the world.”——_South and West._ “There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of occasion for attacking the ordinary methods of cooking, as well as the common style of diet.”——_Morning Star._
