Penguin have pulled off another stroke of repackaging genius. This time it's their Great Food series - twenty books, beautifully styled that are all extracts from clever, very vintage writing about food. They bill them as "the best culinary writing from the last 400 years." You can learn how to roll your own 'haschiche fudge' courtesy of Alice B. Toklas, or attempt Alexandre Dumas' far less apetising recipe for 'Mutton Kidneys, Musketeers' .
A little taste test below...
This one contains Acton's "crisp, clear, simple and foolproof dishes" which, in what sounds like an enormous contradiction to me, includes recipes for superlative mincemeat, threadneedle street biscuits, Baron Liebig's beef gravy and apple hedgehog.
The Campaign for Domestic Happiness contains timeless tips on selecting cuts of meat, throwing a grand party and how much you should pay your floor staff.
This little gem is "a cook book for last-minute pre- theatre dinners for the sparkling society hostess."
Love!
