The Manual of Modern Cookery, by Miss Jessie Lindsay, and

Professor V. II. Mottram (University of London Press, 4s. 6d.) has only some fifty pages of academic theory and two hundred and fifty pages of recipes for agreeable dishes. The authors make a good case for the theory that breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, is just what the human frame requires. but we remain with the lurking suspicion that most of us cat too much.
