The Times' Recipes
ByPublisher Description
Claiming to be "the fruit of the personal experiences of at least a thousand housekeepers," the book reprints the contents of the
Sunday edition Household Column, which apparently was extremely popular in its day, and the public clamored for reprints of the column's recipes. Besides the hundreds of formulas for cooking breakfast dishes, eggs, fish, oysters, soups, meats, vegetables, pastry, cakes, breads, and more, the book includes "considerable supplementary matter" such as a complete treatise on carving, illustrated with woodcuts. Providing advice on everything from food marketing and storage to setting tables and serving wine, the Times asserts that every "counsel is the outgrowth of experiment and success, and the suggestions offered can be acted upon with certainty that good results will follow."
