his vegetarian and confectionery recipes. Other notable works by this

The Art of Salad Dressing" (1922), and "British Red Cross Society
Cookery Manual" (1915). Contents include: "Side-Dishes-Cold
Hors-d'Oeuvre", "Sandwiches", "Breakfast Dishes and After Dinner
Savouries", "Savoury Dishes of Fish", "Savoury Meat Dishes", "Vegetable

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.
