The Broadlands Cookery-Book. By Kato Emil Behnke and E. Colin

Hon.slowe. (G. Bell and Sons. 2s. 6d.)—The first park of this little book deals with " the principles and practice of food reform," and in the last we are given receipts for cooking and preparing the vegetarian dishes recommended by the compilers. To our mind this is the best part. S me of the receipts have long been known even in meat-eating households, but others are new. at any rate to the present Writer, who intends to try a good many of them as occasion offers. The chapter on " Preservatives " should be read by people who buy food in packets and tins, instead of in % fresh state, for though one smiles at many of the fantastic theoriee of these " reformers," there is no doubt that they are right in denouncing the adulteration of food.
