| O become a good cook requires more than the blind follow- ing of a recipe. This is frequently illustrated when severalwomen living in the same community, all using the same recipe,obtain widely differing results. It is the reason so many cookssay, "I had good luck with my cake today," or "I had badluck with my bread yesterday." Happily, luck causes neitherthe success nor the failure of a product. To become a goodcook means to gain a knowledge of foods and how they be-have, and skill in manipulating them.
