Hi/da's " Where Is It ?" of Recipes. By Hildagonda J.

Duckitt. (Chapman and Hall.)—The distinguishing features of this cookery- book are the arrangement of the recipes, given in alphabetical form, and the fact that it is written from the Cape, and largely to the Cape. The author, indeed, takes pains to say that it is at the suggestion of some English friends who had spent a few years in South Africa, that she collected recipes from relatives, friends, and practical housewives. English readers are thus enabled, with the help of " Hilda's " well-condensed instructions, to compare the tra- ditions of their elders with the gastronomical creed of a country where good cookery is even more needed in the interests of health than it is here.
