Excerpt from Every Day Meals: Being Economic and Wholesome Recipes for Breakfast, Luncheon, and Supper "Know on thyself thy genius must depend. Ah books of cookery, all helps of art, All critic learning, all commenting notes, Are vain, if, void of genius, thou wouldst cook!" These words of an old writer are as true now as they ever were. "Then," somebody will be sure to say, "it is of no use my trying to be a cook, for I have no genius for it." To quote so great an authority as the late Charles Dickens, "Genius is nothing more nor less than a vast capacity for taking trouble." Anybody, therefore, who has this capacity, and who possesses patience and perseverance, can be a good cook. It is clear that these gifts cannot be attained by the study of cookery books, and it is as useless to expect to prepare food properly without practice, as it is to expect to paint a picture without years of careful study. Cookery may be one of the secondary arts, but an art it is, and demands not only, as we have said, exercise of the high moral gifts of patience and perseverance, but of every faculty of the mind. No stupid person can ever be a good cook. Real proficiency in the art can only be attained by one who possesses powers of observation and comparison. A critical faculty of taste is absolutely necessary for a good cook. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
