Presented as published in 1908. Historical recipes may not meet modern food-safety standards. Cook from the modern interpretation, not the original instructions.
Cooking by the help of a chafing dish affords great pleasure, and at times amusement, though it has a solid basis of usefulness, for there are some decided advantages to be gained in being able to prepare dainty dishes quickly for either breakfast, luncheon or supper. Many house- wives take a real delight in chafing-dish cookery for ordinary purposes, whilst for sick-room cookery a chafing dish will prove a most valuable friend, for there are many dishes suitable for invalids which can be prepared with its aid. The number of dishes which can be cooked in a chafing dish or in 'a casserole is almost endless. The collection of recipes contained in this book have been specially compiled for such dishes which are most readily prepared in the chafing dish or in stoneware cooking pans. It is hoped that these meet the long-felt want so often expressed by many of my colleagues and friends, for whose benefit this volume has been published. C. Herman Senn. Making the most of food. Tasty cookery makes the most of food. Corn Flour, all pure nourishment itself, is one of the best helps to tasty & nutritious cookery. Delicious sauces made with Brown & Poison’s “Patent” Corn Flour make fish and vege- tables tastier than meat. Savoury dishes such as macaroni cheese, cheese souffle, haddock souffle, etc., are delicious, when i made with Brown & ^ Poison’s “Patent” Corn Flour. Write (enclosing Id. stamp) for the “ A ” Recipe WA Book to Brown & Poison, 6, ^jBouverie St., London, E.C. For absolute purity, guaranteed by over 50 years’ reputation, and for economy too, because it goes so far, use Broun & Poison’s Patent" Corn Flour l the kind you use by level spoonfuls.
