Sinopsis

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. áAdditional works include: The Invalidâ&euro,&trade,s Oracle, The Housekeeper',s Ledger, The Traveller',s Oracle, and The Art of Invigorating and Prolonging Life.
