1793 English Housekeeper COOKBOOK Recipes Desserts Cooking Cuisine Home-making
"Cut off the fins, and nick the brown side under the head; then take out the guts, and dry them with a cloth, boil them in salt and water; make either gravy, shrimp, cockle, or muscle sauce, and garnish it with red cabbage."
― Experienced English Housekeeper, 'To boil Flounders'
A monumental 18th-century cookbook! This 1793 edition of "The Experienced English Housekeeper" includes many recipes that would still be desirable in the 21st-century, but there are other recipes and methods that are significantly less desirable! Roasted Lark, Stewed Lampreys, and Walnut Catchup! The recipes are concise, short, and easy to read – which is helpful when you really want to make the cream custard dessert quickly! Note that this edition also contains folding engraved, illustrations!
