Preface

In the course of a long and laborious career, entirely devoted, both in study and practice, to the preparation of the food of man in a manner most conducive to his health,—I have published two works on Modern Cookery, both of a different character, namely, ‘The Gastronomic Regenerator,’ adapted for the higher class of epicures; the second, for the easy middle class, under the title of the ‘Modern Housewife,’ The success of both I gratefully acknowledge as having far exceeded my expectations.
