Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Home Cookery in Wartime. The Red Cross called her away before the first page was written ;and I am bidden to step into the breach. For a man who is one year too old to join anything more important than a Home Defence corps, it is some consolation to try and serve his countrymen in another way. Cuisine cesi mtdecine, said Michelet; and good cookery is a cure for the minds as well as the bodys ills, besides being cheaper in the end. I must explain at the outset the class of readers which will be addressed throughout the following chapters. It is silly to go angling in waters where no fish has ever been known to bite ;and I shall therefore exclude from consideration the cooks in luxurious households. Speaking broadly, the servants in great houses are the last to respond when an appeal for thrift and frugality is made. Even during sieges and famines, waste goes on in rich kitchens. I admit gladly that there are magnificent exceptions; but the sad truth remains that the servants of the wealthy are generally selfish parasites and that it would be a waste of breath to preach economy to them so long as opportunities for extravagance exist.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Written against the backdrop of the First World War, this book offers a unique blend of practical cookery advice and insightful social commentary. The author, a man stepping in for a female colleague called away by war duties, addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by wartime conditions, particularly the need for thrift and resourcefulness in the kitchen. The book primarily targets middle-class households, those 'cursed neither by poverty nor by riches,' and encourages a shift away from extravagant pre-war culinary habits. The author emphasizes the importance of adapting to the realities of wartime, advocating for simpler, more sustainable practices while maintaining the pleasures of good food. Rejecting rigid adherence to recipes and scientific food theories, the author champions flexibility and resourcefulness, urging readers to 'plan your dishes with what you have.' He emphasizes the value of fresh, seasonal ingredients and critiques the overreliance on processed or overly concentrated 'fad foods.' The book encourages a return to traditional cooking methods like steaming and braising, promoting the use of casseroles and other tools that facilitate slow, gentle cooking. Ultimately, this book transcends mere cookery instruction, offering a philosophical reflection on food, consumption, and the art of living well amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a timely reminder that culinary satisfaction and economic prudence can coexist, and that resourcefulness in the kitchen can be a source of both personal and national strength. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330190913_0
