About This Book

The volume compiles household-tested recipes and practical kitchen guidance drawn from the author’s experience running a tea room, opening with a brief account of its origins and rules for measuring ingredients. It provides clear instructions for soups, stocks and creams; a variety of fish and shellfish preparations including broiling, frying, baking and stuffing; and accompaniments such as sauces, dressings and croûtons. Recipes emphasize proportions, timing and straightforward techniques, include selection and handling tips (for example for lobsters) and offer conversions for common ingredients, presenting a pragmatic manual aimed at everyday domestic cooking.

Transcriber’s Notes

Errors in punctuation have been fixed.
