Synopsis
Excerpt from The Treasury of French Cookery: A Collection of the Best French Recipes, Arranged and Adapted for English Households
I happened, in a. Tour in France, to procure a French cookery book, and on my return I occasionally translated receipts from it for my own use. The success of these experiments induced me to translate the whole. This col lection of receipts is taken from two French works. I publish it with the idea that what has been useful to myself may prove so to others.
Whether, when Sterne said, They order this matter better in France, he was speaking of cookery, and if so, of cookery in general or of some dish in particular, I leave learned critics to decide. Certainly, a good cook will manage to make an agreeable dish of a material a bad one would reject as unpresentable. The most skilful agriculture is not always found in the richest districts. 'the increasing cost of provisions renders improvement in the art of cookery important from other motives than those of luxury among ourselves. The publication of approved receipts is a method by which this object has been lately greatly promoted.
