Summary "The Skilful Cook" by Mary Harrison is a practical manual of modern cooking techniques written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive guide offers a detailed look at the principles of cookery, highlighting the importance of domestic economy and hygiene in food preparation. The book aims to empower women, especially homemakers, by providing not just recipes, but valuable insights into managing household duties effectively. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the significance of understanding domestic tasks such as cooking, which Harrison argues are critical for societal and sanitary improvements. She emphasizes that women of all classes can impact their households positively through knowledge and education in domestic economy. It sets the stage for what readers can expect from the subsequent chapters, which include tips for young housekeepers, dietary information, and a variety of recipes, all aimed at fostering not just cooking skills, but a broader appreciation for good food and its role in a healthy lifestyle.
