Foreword
As the artist presents his finished picture, mounted or framed so that his friends may drink in its beauty without the odor of paints or brushes, so I offer this little book to you, friends of the business world, who must needs eat and mayhap, too, love to cook what you eat rather than sit forever around a boarding-house table.
I do not offer you my paints and brushes, that is, calories and proteins; nor even a dissertation on the chemistry of cooking or the physiology of digestion - for there are many books on those lines better than I could possibly write. I will refer you to them should this volume send you delving deeper for yourself into this fascinating play. I simply pass on to you the practical Foreword application of these underlying principles which I have made in my own kitchenette apartment, the Scribbler's Den.
Come with me into my playhouse and as my guest "bide a wee."
