writer of cook books. He wrote profusely on the subject, producing cook
books for all manner of people and situations, but was particularly
well-known for his vegetarian and confectionery recipes. Other notable
works by this author include: "Breakfast and Supper Dishes" (1898), "A
book of Salads: The Art of Salad Dressing" (1922), and "British Red
Cross Society Cookery Manual" (1915). Contents include: "Hot Sweets",
"Cold Sweets", "Ices and How to Make Them", "Gateaux and Pastry",
"Auxiliary Recipes", "Sweet Sauces, Hot and Cold", etc. The Vintage
Cookery Books series hopes to bring old wisdom and classic techniques
back to life, as we have so much to learn from 'the old ways' of
cooking. Not only can these books provide a fascinating window into past
societies, cultures and every-day life, but they also let us actively
delve into our own history - with a taste of what, how and when, people
ate, drank, and socialised.
