About This Book

A practical domestic cookery manual presents hundreds of recipes and step-by-step instructions centered on economy and household efficiency. It combines detailed preparations for fish, meats, poultry, pies, soups, sauces, pickles, stews, salads, pastries, puddings, sweets, fruits, ices, cakes, bread and yeast, plus guidance on dairy, home brewing, care of the sick and frugal cooking for the poor. Prefatory chapters advise on household accounts, purchasing, storing, and supervising servants; many recipes include minute techniques intended for private families rather than professional kitchens.
