From the book's foreword:

Primarily, we have tried to present in Picture Cookery a colourful and interesting book that will be beautiful to look at and easy to use. In the belief that pictures tell the story better than words, the recipes and instructions have been kept as short and concise as possible, so that the busy cook-housewife may be encouraged to experiment with new ideas and methods in the certainty that they can be easily carried out, and that the result will be a well-cooked dish that her family will enjoy - Australian Women's Weekly
