This cookbook is sent to you in the hope that among its recipes you will find many new and tasty dishes.

My own favorite recipes are contained herein, one hundred of them, and I can promise that you will find them all thoroughly practical.

No matter how old a story cooking is to us, no matter how little zest we think we have for it, we need only to have a new recipe, a new ingredient or a new method in cookery held tantalizingly before us to discover that our interest hasn’t waned after all.

For the quest of the new and better in cookery never loses its allure.
