Summary
Thanking him for a cook book; saying "The worst of it is that I & everyone gets into a rut with their kitchens - a rut dug by a complex of conditions...So that the reading of 20 book books in the last years has produced almost no change in our repertoire. If I was the cook myself wholeheartedly & nothing else I'd apply them all. Nevertheless I think I can apply this & the other sooner or later. They are quite the best I know (save equally good 'Kitchen Essays' (Lady Jekyll) which has done me good). Today is one of those perfectly foul days which one ought to take a pride in."
