Wishing for Wow-Wow Sauce? This newly released edition of The
Cook's Oracle is an exact replica of Dr. Kitchiner's original book

& fish to gravies & sauces to puddings & pies,
including many of his favorite "receipts."Interestingly enough, he
toured with a moveable taste cabinet; a folding cupboard stocked
his unique mustards and sauces. And, unlike most food writers of
the era, he whipped up the recipes himself, carried out the dreaded
after-dinner clean up, and did all his own housework A marvelous
culinary artifact of 19th-century cookery, this book is certain to

exceptional cook. His other works include: The Invalid's Oracle,
The Housekeeper's Ledger, The Traveller's Oracle, and The Art of
Invigorating and Prolonging Life.
