Excerpt from A New System of Domestic Cookery: Formed Upon Principles of Economy, and Adapted to the Use of Private Families
As the following directions were intended for the conduct of the families of the Authoress''s own daugh ters, and for the arrangement of their table, so as to units a good figure with proper economy, she has avoided all excessive luxury, such as essence of ham. And that wasteful expenditure of large quantifies of meat for gravy, which so greatly contributes to keep up the price, and is no less injurious to those who eat than to those whose penury obliges them to abstain. Many receipts are given for things, which being in daily use, the mode of pmparing them may be supposed too well known to require a place in a cookery-hook; yet how rarely do we meet with fine melted butter, good toast and water.
