Excerpt from French Cookery for American Homes: 634 Recipes of Simple and Easy Dishes To those cooks who are desirous to accomplish their by no means unimportant work in a satisfactory and conscientious manner, and who at the same time are not very experienced in cooking, I should advise them before attempting to try any of the recipes contained in this work to read them first carefully through, particularly all directions given for preparing fat for frying, for making stocks for soups and gravies, for thickening for sauce, c.I venture to say that if a cook carefully begins by preparing her provision of gravy, thickening, bread-crumbs plain and baked, clarified butter, and spices, by keeping all these things cool, clean, and sweet, and neatly at hand to be taken down at a moments notice, the actual preparation of the various dishes will be comparative childs play. When none of these things are kept in reserve the cook gets flurried, the ingredients for the dishes are wasted, and the results are generally lamentable. When fresh herbs are not obtainable, bottles of dried herbs can always be at hand, but nothing can replace fresh parsley, and that is never missing. Potato-flour must always be kept in the event of thickening being needed at the last moment, ordinary flour is most unwholesome unless a long time is allowed for cooking it.
