Excerpt from From House to House: A Book of Odd Recipes From Many Homes In nearly every household there are certain dishes or, at any rate, one dish, on the excellence or the originality of which the family pride themselves. You know that when you stay with the Browns they give you a delicious fish soup that you cannot get anywhere else, while Mrs. Black makes a wonderful omelet-te the recipe for which is a family secret; and whenever you lunch at the Whites you never fail to ask for the special sauce which their old colored cook and no body else can make. In fact, it has long been realized that the ideal Cook-book would be one in which all these special dishes could be got together; supposing, of course, that the housekeepers and cooks could be persuaded to reveal their treasured secrets. This volume is an attempt in this direction, and we believe the first book of its kind. It is not in any sense of the word a text book on cookery; it is meant for the housewife who knows how to cook. The recipes were gathered by a trained nurse (who also had a taste for cooking) as she went from patient to patient to exercise her profession. In every house which prided itself on a special pudding or 'a new salad, she jotted down in her note-book all the particulars she could get, and thus gradually was built up what the authors believe will be a treasure-trove to the housewife who wants something a little different with which to surprise or please her family and friends.
