Charles Elm Francatelli, although a chef to Queen Victoria herself,
wrote this little book in 1852 to encourage the working classes to
cook nourishing food for themselves using cheap but wholesome
ingredients. As well as the many recipes, it also contains sections
on food for invalids, medicinal concoctions and the preparation of
nourishing and economical soup for the poor. It is a great
sourcebook for 'ordinary' nineteenth century recipes - and offers a
fascinating window on the past - some ingredients that were then
thought common are now considered delicacies, other common
foodstuffs of that time are now rarely eaten at all.
