The book serves as a comprehensive resource for busy housewives interested in efficient methods of preserving food, specifically using the cold-pack method that gained popularity during and after World War I. The opening of the book recounts the author's personal journey and enthusiasm for the cold-pack canningmethod, beginning with a demonstration she attended that sparked her interest in teaching others. She describes the shift in canning habits influenced by the war, as women adopted new methods to conserve food effectively and economically. Gray highlights the challenges faced by those accustomed to older techniques, emphasizing the importance of being open to learning the cold-pack method, which promises to simplify the canning process while producing better results.
