"Our already deep obligations to Miss Hooper are weightily increased by this excellent and practical little book. The recipes for little dishes are excellent, and so clearly worded that presumptuous man instantly believes, on reading them, that he could descend into the kitchen and 'toss up' the little dishes without any difficulty." Spectator.

BY MARY HOOPER.

Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 2s. 6d.
