Synopsis
Excerpt from A Shilling Cookery for the People
First, most of the receipts, having been especially written for various ordinary kitchen utensils, some of them may appear to the reader to be repetitions, which is not the case, as the same food may be used, yet each process will differ one from the other, from having~~ been cooked in a different manner.
Secondly, to obviate the reading of two or three receipts to be able to execute one, I have made each receipt in itself as complete as possible, as regards seasoning and proportion, and the few references I unavoidably make will, after a little practice, become familiar to my f readers.
Many of the receipts may appear to you rather lengthy, but I want to draw your attention to the fact, that they are more than receipts - indeed, I may call them plain lessons, some containing a number of receipts in one.
In some cookery books many receipts are explained in few lines, which at first sight gives to the thing the appearance of simplicity but when acted on by the uninitiated are found totally impracticable.

About the Author
Soyer was a talented, dashing, flamboyant, French egocentric whose gastronomic genius was the rage and envy of mid-nineteenth-century England. He served as cook to various French and English notables between 1821 and 1837. Among them was Prince Polignac of the French Foreign Office, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Sutherland, the Marquis of Waterford, and William Lloyd of Aston Hall, Oswestry. He was widely known for his triumphant tenure as master chef of the London Reform Club, a post he accepted in 1837. The day of Queen Victoria's coronation, June 28, 1838, he executed one of the greatest culinary extravaganzas of all time: a breakfast for two thousand people at Gwydyr House, where the club was temporarily housed. His banquet de luxe for 150 guests for Ibraham Pasha on July 3, 1846, has also become a culinary legend.
