Dainty Dishes Receipts 5th Ed St Clair Harriet Elizabeth by St. Clair, Harriet Elizabeth 9781449428242, 144942824X instant download after payment.

From her writing and recipe style, Lady Harriet was clearly a sophisticated woman of means who deplored the & ldquo;unpalatable horrible attempts at entrees, dignified with some high-sounding French name, made by the general run of English cooks. & rdquo; Her recipes for soups, sauces, fish, meat, poultry, vegetables and salads, eggs and cheese, pudding, jellies, pastries, bread, biscuits, cakes, liqueurs, pickling, coffee, and dairy making were clearly designed to replace the & ldquo;sodden pieces of meat, soaking in a mess of flour and butter ... which forms the English cook & rsquo;s universal idea of a sauce, and which they liberally and indiscriminately bestow on fish, flesh and fowl. & rdquo; Refined and sophisticated, her cuisine was clearly targeted for those who appreciated and could afford good living. The last ten pages of the book contain a listing of other books published by Edmonston & Douglas of Edinburgh, so it is likely that the Philadelphia publisher J.B. Lippincott and Co. simply reprinted the original Engish edition in its entirety. This edition of Dainty Dishes was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes.
