Synopsis

Care for a bit of Colcannon? Craving some Winter Hotch-Potch? Wishing for Wow-Wow Sauce? This newly released edition of The Cook's Oracle is an exact replica of Dr. Kitchiner's original book first published in 1829. A bestseller in its day, Kitchiner's fundamentals of 19th-century cookery cover the gamut from meat & fish to gravies & sauces to puddings & pies, including many of his favorite "receipts." Interestingly enough, he toured with a moveable taste cabinet; a folding cupboard stocked his unique mustards and sauces. And, unlike most food writers of the era, he whipped up the recipes himself, carried out the dreaded after-dinner clean up, and did all his own housework! A marvelous culinary artifact of 19th-century cookery, this book is certain to delight both social historians and food-lovers alike. A household name during the 19th-century, WILLIAM KITCHINER, M.D. (1775-1827) was an optician, inventor of telescopes, amateur musician and exceptional cook. His other works include: The Invalid's Oracle, The Housekeeper's Ledger, The Traveller's Oracle, and The Art of Invigorating and Prolonging Life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A mong the multitude of causes which concur to impair Health, and produceD isease, the most general is the improper quality of our Food: this, most frequently, arises from the injudicious manner in which it is prepared; yet, strange, passing strange, this, is the only one, for which a remedy has not been sought; and few persons bestow half so much attention on the preservation of their own Health, as they daily devote to that of their Dogs and Horses. The observations of the Guardians of Health respecting Regimen, c. have formed no more than aC atalogue of those articles ofF ood, which they have considered most proper for particular Constitutions.
