Excerpt from The Skilful Cook: A Practical Manual of Modern Experience
I invariably find a few who are very grateful for such in struction, the majority, I imagine, never trouble to put in practice what they have been taught. Their habits have been already formed, and it is not easy for them to alter them. But it is a significant fact that those who do value the lessons are generally respectable hardworking women, who have held good situations under good mistresses.

The Skillful Cook by Marry Harrison, is a very old cookery manual, with some basic vital information and lot of daily dishes made for a typical home. From meat to fish to vegetables to soups a nd jams - almost everything is included into it.
Not a modern book of recipes but a handy one for still most men and women having any interest in cooking.
Not an outstanding book; it still can be read and, also, skipped here and there.
Before launching on to it's reading , One really must review the contents s nd d should directly read those sections which interest him/her. Hence both time and energy is saved and therefore one can still be happy to have read it. Best.
