ADVICE TO WIVES

A NOTED CHEF'S VIEWS. M Emile Aymoyz, master chef at one of London’s leading hotels, gives this advice to wives: “A wife who can cook need never fear ‘the other woman' — unless, of course, the other woman is a better cook." Here are some of M Aymoyz's comments:— English “plain food" usually consists of meat overcooked until al) the goodness has departed from it. and abundance of heavy and indigestible suet puddings. The "plain food" served io office workers is more often than not a nutritive nightmare. "I would sooner face a ten-course banquet at the Mansion House than a good, hearty Englishman's meal of steak and pudding, potatoes, and greens.” "The French are the only people in the world who can make good coffee. The Americans are the only people who can really appreciate good coffee." “Give me a child's stomach until he is seven and 1 will give you a superman.” "I believe that the cook is the most romantic person on earth.” The most interesting guests for any cook are those who do not have standardised tastes. M Amoyz ended with a prophecy: “In a few years," he said, "the system of domestic service as you and I know it will have been swept away, and every wife will have to turn to the cooking-pot."
