Description

"First catch your fish, of course, and then remember that 'a great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by carelessness and indifference. Some are kept in a stew; others are roasted, or kept in a pickle all their lives.' Turnips, onions, and cabbage heads, the recipe adds, would be good if cooked in these ways, would be good if cooked in these ways, husbands will not, but 'they are really delicious when properly treated.' 'To a strong, steady fire of love, neatness and cheerfulness, add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners called kisses.' No vinegar or pepper on any account, but sometimes a little spice, the recipe tells us, will make the husband tender and digestible....Miss Worthington introduces some interesting anecdotes, a horse and dog story being especially good. Altogether 'How to Cook Husbands' is a bright and clever little volume." -Public Opinion "A book of good advice....The heroine is thirty-four and rather hard to please, but finally, helped by the advice of married friends, she manages to prepare a husband who under all circumstances proves himself amiable, sociable, industrious, and altogether satisfactory." -The Literary News "The meditations of a mature spinster on the domestic troubles....Through it all runs a thread of love story. The book is written pleasantly." -New York Sun "The writer shows a humorous knowledge of those details of married life and housekeeping that managed right or managed wrong produce either happiness or tragedy." -Book News "Sounds advice under a glaze of humor." -Literary World
