      PREFACE.

       Table of Contents

      

here is a custom, hoary with the accumulated dust of ages, originating many a long century ago, in a certain, but now extinct “garden,” of which we all know more or less, viz: That man will and must eat.

      Out of the helplessness of man there has grown another custom, equally old, (some say even older) that women shall set before him that which shall satisfy man’s hunger.

      From that day to this women have vied with one another for pre-eminence in culinary art. Now any man will tell you that in this art, there has been vouchsafed to some a greater measure of perfection than to others. With this thought in mind, it has been the effort of the compilers to gather together and set forth in the pages of this book the proudest achievements of the best cooks to be found among the women of Christ Church Parish and others of the city of Burlington, Iowa.

      This being such a laudable object, it seems to the writer, that no apology for this book can be necessary. It is, therefore, put forth with the utmost confidence that it will receive a hearty welcome.

      Like all things done in haste, it will no doubt, show defects to the critical eye; but such as it is, we cast it like “bread” “upon the waters,” trusting that it may return in another form, ere many days are past.

      BURLINGTON, IOWA.
