Excerpt from The Handbook of Household Management and Cookery: Compiled at the Request of the School Board for London, With an Appendix of Recipes Used by the Teachers of the National School of Cookery

The present work was written at the request of The School Board for London. It was designed to supply a want which has long been felt by practical teachers; that of a handbook on the general principles on which the processes of Cookery and the sanitary management of a home depend.

No work on the subject at present exists which can be advantageously placed in the hands of the pupils in ordinary schools. A mere collection of recipes, however valuable in themselves, does not constitute a book fit for use in schools, where the pupils should be instructed in the first principles adapted to all cases, and not have the memory burdened by details applicable only to each individual case.
