Produktbeschreibung

How few people who build houses give proper attention to the plan and construction of the kitchen! Pains may be taken to have the exterior of the building attractive, the halls broad, the parlors spacious and finely finished, the dining-room bright and inviting, the chambers airy and sunny, but the plan of the kitchen generally receives much less thought than its importance deserves. The aim of this book is to show how a model kitchen may be arranged; and although few people may adopt the recommendations as a whole, it is hoped that every reader may find some suggestions of value, to be followed whether the house be already built or yet to be erected. (Maria Parloa, An Ideal Kitchen: Miss Parloa's Kitchen Companion)

Autorenporträt

Maria Parloa was a pioneering figure in the domestic science movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on September 25, 1843, in Massachusetts, Parloa dedicated her life to educating women in the art of cooking and domestic management. After furthering her own education in the culinary arts, she opened Miss Parloa's School of Cooking in Boston in 1877, which aimed to empower women through culinary education. Parloa's innovative teaching methods combined with her passion for cooking led to her reputation as an authority on domestic science. She authored several influential cookbooks, including 'An Ideal Kitchen,' which contained not just recipes but also advice on kitchen design and equipment, emphasizing efficiency and hygiene. Her work extended beyond the kitchen as she was a sought-after lecturer and contributed articles to various publications. Parloa's literary style blends instructional guidance with narrative elements, making her an accessible and engaging author for her audience. Her efforts profoundly influenced the home economics movement and left a lasting impact on American culinary arts. Maria Parloa passed away on August 21, 1909, but her legacy continues through her writings and the countless homemakers she inspired.
