Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Originally published in 1889, this is a wonderful cookery book full of old and forgotten recipes from the turn of the century. As well as being packed with many charming old adverts and quirky food stuffs, much of the content is still of practical use in the kitchen today.
