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.
A wonderfully engaging cook book with a great balance of fun and practicality. Maybe a little heavy on the American cheese for me but who knows - I’ll someday try a “rum-tum-tiddy” and perhaps that will change my mind on it!
So far I’ve only made the stuffed celery and the orange compote. The recipe-stories for both were hilarious and the instructions easy to follow. Both creations were well received. Peeling the membrane from that many orange slices though is really tedious, I think I could probably only motivate myself to do it a few times a year. Contemplating trying it with those refrigerator-section grapefruit slices in jars you can get at the grocery store.
8/8/2021 edit: those jars of refrigerated grapefruit work wonderfully! Things are obviously less orangey that way but you still get a lovely flavor combo from the marmalade and canned pineapple. The grapefruit fits right in and it’s heaps easier than peeling membrane from orange wedges.
