"The Century Cook Book" by Mary Ronald is a culinary guide written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive resource covers a wide range of cooking techniques, recipes for various dishes, and essential etiquette for dinner parties. It aims to equip readers with skills for both simple meals and elaborate entertaining, emphasizing the importance of both nutrition and presentation in cooking. At the start of the book, Ronald discusses the significance of cooking as both an art and a science, stressing that a knowledgeable cook can elevate a meal from mere sustenance to an enjoyable experience. The opening sections outline the etiquette of hosting dinner parties, including how to arrange invitations and order the courses, while also providing practical tips for laying the table and expressing hospitality. She highlights the distinction between cooking as a functional task and as a form of creative expression, setting a tone for the detailed instructions and recipes that follow.
