Kitchiner, William (1778-1827). COOK’S ORACLE: containing receipts for plain cookery on the most economical plan for private families: also, the art of composing the most simple and the most highly finished Broths, Gravies, Soups, Sauces, Store Sauces, and flavouring essences; the quantity of each Article is accurately stated by Weigh and Measure; the whole being the result of Actual Experiments instituted in the Kitchen of a Physician. The Third Edition, which is almost entirely re-written, The. London: Printed for A. Constable and Co. Edinburgh; and Hurst, Robinson and Co. Cheapside, 1821. Illustrated by two musical notations (pp. 112 & 402 respectively in the fish section-La sole la mis la & Bubble and Squeak) and a pair of bird claws (for a cooking calendar) pp. 189. [c.1817 as Apicius Redivivus London: Published by Samuel Baxter. Title translates Apicus Revived. While linked to Marcus Gavius Apicius, a notoriously wealthy Roman foodie who lived in the 1st century AD, he did not write Apicius, which instead refers to the title of the oldest surviving collection of Roman culinary recipes, De re coquinaria ("On the Subject of Cooking”, first published in 62 A.D. by Caelius Apicius, later revived in 1498). c.1818 2nd Edition. London: John Hatchard]. Original marbled boards repacked with acid free J. Hewit gilt stamped calf and new acid free eps. 8vo. pp. xvi, 464. Index. Very Good. This, the Third edition, is the first disappearance of Apicius Redivivus from the title but still the first appearance of a recipe for crisps aka potato chips.…
