"Practical Cooking and Dinner Giving" by Mary F. Henderson is a comprehensive treatise on culinary practices and etiquette written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a guide for home cooks, providing practical instructions on cooking, combining and serving dishes, and entertaining guests at meals such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Readers can expect not only a variety of recipes but also detailed advice on how to host dinners elegantly and efficiently. The opening of the work establishes the author’s intent to offer a practical resource for those seeking to improve their cooking and hosting skills. Henderson discusses the debate between the English and Russian methods of serving dinner, ultimately suggesting a compromise that combines elements of both styles. She emphasizes the importance of meal presentation, including table setting and serving efficiency, thus setting the tone for a manual that seeks to elevate the art of home cooking and hospitality. Through her structured approach and detailed content, the beginning segments of the book promise a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in enhancing their culinary repertoire and entertaining skills.
