What does cookery mean? It means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe,
and of Calypso, and Sheba. It means knowledge of all herbs, and fruits, and
balms and spices... It means the economy of your great-grandmother and the

means, in fine, that you are to see imperatively that everyone has something
nice to eat.
John Ruskin
