Book, All of the material in this book has been sourced from the 1861 edition and the recipes have been tested for suitability to modern tastes and cooking techniques.

The informative, often amusing, hints, tips and anecdotes are also included both as reference for the modern cook, and as a delightful way of revisiting the past. 352 creamy crisp pp, monotone illus throughout, approx 800g packed for post.
