Synopsis

Purported to be the inventor of the recipe for Coronation Chicken (for the coronation of England's Queen Victoria in 1832), Charles Francatelli was one of the Victorian era's most famous chefs. In this 1859 volume, he scales his recipes for the modern home, emphasizing simplicity and economy in cookery, thus making many of the recipes he made for his wealthy patrons accessible to the public.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In introducing the present Edition ofT heM odern Cook to the public, I beg to return my thanks for the patronage that has been awarded to former Editions, by the public at large, as well as by the profession, of whose approbation I feel most proud. I ndeed, I am so conscious of the value of the good opinion of these competent judges, that I do not hesitate to ascribe the steady demand with which theW ork has hitherto been favored to their liberal support. So gratifying an appreciation of my endeavors has naturally prompted me to render the present Edition in all respects worthy of a continuance of their patronage. I have in all cases most strictly studied economy, by retrenching, as far as it appeared to me consistent with propriety, all unnecessary and too expensive accessories to the more costly kinds of dishes. The whole work has been entirely revised with scrupulous care and attention; and upwards of eighty entirely new dishes, principally belonging to theS econd Course department, have been added. I have also enlarged the glossary of technical terms: and, in order to render theW ork of easier reference to the public, as well as to the practitioner, no trouble has been spared to improve the I ndex. I have nearly doubled the original number of Bills ofF are ;and have added many of dinners served to Her Majesty the Queen.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
