The Book for All Households
Title
The Book for All Households
Or The Art of Preserving Animal and Vegetable Substances for Many Years
Excerpt
The art of Appertizing, or preserving food sterilized by heat in a hermetically sealed container, was conceived a little more than a hundred years ago as a war measure to provision the French forces upon the sea. It played a most important part in provisioning the armies in the recent war and in providing succor for the millions of starving civilians. But this role is far less beneficent than is the furnishing of good, wholesome, palatable, nutritious food at all times and at any place under peace conditions.
The food preserving industry has grown with remarkable rapidity in this country during the past two decades, and this applies to the household as well as to the factory or commercial product. As a result, many persons are taking more than a cursory interest in the preparation of their foods, and to some of these a translation of the original work by M. Appert may prove of interest.
The translation has been made to follow the original very closely in order to preserve the exact meaning intended and not to modernize it according to present usage.
