cookery 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.
