Cookery at South Kensington - Nature
www.nature.com
THE most successful department of the International Exhibition this year is undoubtedly that connected with Cookery. Twice a day is a lecture delivered on some practical department of cooking, and at the same time a demonstration is given by a well-trained group of female cooks, in a conveniently fitted-up kitchen open to the audience. These lectures are the great attraction of the Exhibition, and many persons anxious to gain admission are turned away for want of space to accommodate them. This shows, at any rate, on the part of the public, an appreciation of the subject and a desire to be instructed as far as possible.

Abstract:

THE most successful department of the International Exhibition this year is undoubtedly that connected with Cookery. Twice a day is a lecture delivered on some practical department of cooking, and at the same time a demonstration is given by a well-trained group of female cooks, in a conveniently fitted-up kitchen open to the audience. These lectures are the great attraction of the Exhibition, and many persons anxious to gain admission are turned away for want of space to accommodate them. This shows, at any rate, on the part of the public, an appreciation of the subject and a desire to be instructed as far as possible.
