701 pp. Pictorially gilt-stamped & lettered forest green cloth, gilt-lettered spine. First Edition. London & NY: Frederick Warne, 1895.
A large compendium covering the whole art of cooking, and rather than having recipes, this is more of a scientific encyclopedia of just about every kind of food and meal. Chapter titles include, "A Philosophy of Sauces," "National Soups and Compound Dishes," "Preparations of Sweet-water Fish," "Dietetic Broths and Decoctions for Patients and Invalids," "List of Renowned Pastries," etc. Front hinge possibly repaired, with a couple pinches along joint, else very good. Fascinating! Bitting p.460.
