This classic cook book contains a wonderful collection of recipes for
producing delicious and easy-to-produce entrées. Written in simple,
clear language and full of invaluable expert tips, "Recherché Entrées"
would make for a worthy addition to culinary collections and is not to
be missed by collectors of vintage cook books. Charles Herman Senn
(1862 - 1934) was a German writer of 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.
