An Ideal Kitchen: Miss Parloa's Kitchen Companion - A Guide for All Who Would Be Good Housekeepers

It is thoroughly practical; it is perfectly reliable; it is marvellously comprehensive; it is copiously illustrated; it is in short overflowing with good qualities, and is just the book that all housekeepers need to guide them. This is one of the most popular Cook Books ever printed, containing 1,724 receipts and items of instruction. The directions are clear and concise, and the chapters on marketing and kitchen furnishing very useful. How few people who build houses give proper attention to the plan and construction of the kitchen! Pains may be taken to have the exterior of the building attractive, the halls broad, the parlors spacious and finely finished, the dining-room bright and inviting, the chambers airy and sunny, but the plan of the kitchen generally receives much less thought than its importance deserves, if one be seeking to make the house as nearly perfect as is practicable. The trouble is not wholly due to unwillingness to expend more money than may have been at first appropriated. A little extra thought alone is needed to effect many improvements on the average kitchen when a house is in process of construction, but this extra thought usually is missing. Of course, in order to have a model kitchen, one must be willing to pay a good price for it; yet the price will not be so high that one will ever regret the expenditure; indeed, most persons will promptly admit that the money has been used as profitably as that used for any other part of the house. The object of this chapter is to show how a model kitchen may be arranged; and although few people may adopt the recommendations as a whole, it[4] is hoped that every reader may find some suggestions of value, to be followed whether the house be already built or yet to be erected. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
