The three Peabody sisters were all at one time or another involved in the field of education. Mary, the middle daughter, became the wife of the famous educator, Horace Mann. She made her own contributions to education as well as supported the goals of her husband who was an influential advocate of public schooling. In the long preface (pp. 1-32) to her cookbook, Mary frames good nutrition as a moral duty and stresses the importance of cooking technique and presentation. Many of her ideas are surprisingly modern, especially regarding the importance of taste: "The pleasures of the appetite are legitimate pleasures." She links nutrition and morality: "There is no more prolific, – indeed, there is no such prolific cause of bad morals as abuses of diet...." She emphasizes the importance of freshness and praises the natural flavor of fruits, vegetables, and meat, admonishing against over-seasoning and observing that there is a loss of quality if fruits and vegetables are stored even one night after taking them from the garden. Of special note is the Appendix (pp. 167-189) in which she offers opinions of French cooking and provides recipes.; 8vo.
