About 7 h 21 min of reading67 chapters

Foods and Household Management, first published in 1914, is a high school textbook of the household arts by Helen Kinne and Anna M. Cooley, who taught household arts education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Its first part is a course in food: food materials, kitchen furnishings, fuel and stoves, the principles of cooking, and then chapters with methods, experiments and recipes for beverages, fruit, vegetables, cereals, eggs and milk, breads, cakes, meats, fish, salads and desserts, ending with meal service, menus and the cost of food. The second part covers the household budget, system in management, buying, housework and laundering. Each chapter closes with exercises, and the book is a clear record of Progressive Era home economics. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
