Foreword

We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
— Lorp LyrTrTon.

Man, in his primitive state, lived upon roots and fruits of the
earth. Then, at a later stage in his development he became a
hunter and a fisher.

Man, today, still lives upon the fruits of the earth, the fowls —
of the air, and beasts of the fields and the fish of the sea; yet they
are so cunningly prepared that they add ‘immeasurably to his
happiness and health.

The art of cookery is every day receiving increased atten-
tion; and that is as it should be, because good cooking has a
great influence on health. We would all enjoy better health
and be better able to withstand sickness if more attention were
paid to the proper selection and preparation of food.

It is our sincere wish that this new and revised edition of the
Blue Ribbon Cook Book may be of assistance to the women of
Canada. Neither time nor expense has been spared to make it
comprehensive and up-to-date. The recipes have all been
tried and tested, and have been chosen with a view to the
various requirements of Canadian households. |

We desire to acknowledge our obligations to the editors of
the M. A. C. Cook Book and to Florence H. Howden, B. Sc.
(H. Ec.), Teacher of Home Economics in King Edward High
School, Vancouver, B.C., for their assistance in the preparation
of the manuscript.
