Foreword
RIGHT living is largely dependent on healthful eating. It is sometimes difficult to feed the family nourishing food and at the same time give it the variety which quickens the appetite. This book has been prepared to help the housewife in her everlasting question, "What shall I have for dinner tonight?" We hope that you will find it useful and helpful.
A companion book to this is The Family Food Supply which tells how to do your marketing and plan your meals economically. A copy will be sent you upon request.
