Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Queen Esther Cook Book
The good ladies who compiled this book, perhaps doubt ing my literary taste, did not ask me to write it. They have honored me all the more, however, and tacitly credited me with another kind of taste by asking me to pen this fore word.
It has been my privilege to eat a great deal of Methodist cooking in my time. Unhesitatingly, I give it a high mark. With the aid of this volume, it becomes possible for any family to enjoy the best of eating. Dr. Frost's doughnut recipe reads amazingly good. Even the holes in those doughnuts possess nutritive value. Bishop Quayle's method of woods-broiling a beefsteak has its appeal to the vege tarian also.
Eating is one of the oldest habits of the human race. I believe it antedates clothing. Eating may bring us either happiness or unhappiness, depending not so much upon what we eat as how it is prepared. Professor Scott's recipe for preparing apples, however, has a pre-adamic tinge to it.
