Presented as published in 1891. Historical recipes may not meet modern food-safety standards. Cook from the modern interpretation, not the original instructions.
Then follow ten methods of making breads, scones, galettes, muffins, crumpets, oat-cakes, short-bread, milk-rolls, and Yorkshire tea-cakes. Somersetshire girdle (or gridiron) cake might very well have been added to this list. A daintier and not more costly way of cooking oeufs au beurre noir is by treating each egg separately, and serving it in a little pipkin or cocote ; and a few more than three recipes for various savoury omelettes might have been given in place of those for potted meats, which do not recommend themselves to small households while endless tins of potted meats are procurable at any grocer's. Then useful recipes for cooking- fish — including a succulent arrangement of lobster au gratin (at a cost of 3s. 9d.) — follow next ; and the series concludes with recipes for grilled and devilled chicken or turkey, and for pigeon pie, in the completion of which the necessity of following the sound practice of pouring flavoursome gravy through the hole in the crust of the baked pie is enforced. "This little book, as will be seen, is intended for the ready and managing house- keeper. But a Vatel may not find many of its suggestions beneath his notice."
