Excerpt from A Year's Cookery: Giving Dishes for Breakfast, Luncheon, and Dinner for Every Day in the Year, With Practical Instructions for Their Preparation, and a Special Section on Foods for Invalids
This book is intended to supply ménus for every day in the year, with recipes for the dishes recommended, and practical instructions for their preparation. So far as I know, no work of the kind on this plan exists. I have specially addressed myself to people of moderate income, with moderate domestic help and ordinary kitchen utensils. I have endeavoured to show how waste may be avoided, and also how, by thinking beforehand, by making one day work in with another, and by choosing materials that are in season, and therefore likely to be reasonable in price, a family might, throughout the year, be provided daily with food excellent in quality, varied in its nature, well cooked and well served, at a reasonable cost.
The ideal family that I have had before me has consisted of about half a dozen persons. I have tried, however, to calculate the quantities and to give the recipes in such a way that the marketing lists can be easily altered to suit varying circumstances.
No particular year has been taken. The book begins where it does, simply because it would not be easy, on account of Sunday, to commence providing for a family either at the beginning or the end of the week. The movable feasts are put down at a likely time of the year, because of the special dishes that are connected with them. In any year, therefore, in order to follow the course, it will be necessary only to note the first Sunday in the year, and work from that.
