The period artwork of the cover depicts the poor wife holding her head in her hands as her husband leaves for work. She is faced with a blank shopping list and the decision of what to put on the table for the evening meal. "What shall we have to-day? It is a question which passes despairingly through the mind of every wife every morning of her life... Homes can be wrecked on the rocks of this question." The publisher's advertising blurb begins, but then seeks to reassure us, "X. Marcel Boulestin, great authority on all pertaining to cooking and the gentle art of gourmet, has answered the problem... he produces delectable dishes... for every day of the year."
