COOKERY Boons.—Three books on cookery may be mentioned together :—Catering
for Two, by Alice L. James (G. P. Putnam's Sons, 3s. Gd.), the sub-title being "Comfort and Economy for Small Households." Miss James begins with twenty-eight menus for dinners, well-considered, and possibly more inclined to "comfort" than to "economy," each dish being separately described ; "Company Luncheons" follow ; then "Breakfast, Tea, and Luncheon Dishes" ; then various useful notions and suggestions. The book is adapted in the first place for American households. It is strange how in- significant an item fish seems to be.— Cold Meat Cookery, by Mrs. J. E. Davidson (L. Upcott Gill, Is.), describes sufficiently by its title its special object.—From the same publisher and by the same author we have Egg Cookery ; or, How to Cook Eggs in 150 Ways.
