Description
Excerpt from A New System of Domestic Cookery: Founded Upon Principles of Economy, and Adapted to the Use of Private Families
The present collection of receiptswdl be found to possess strong claims to recommendation, having been carefully collected from family mss., and vouched for by the parties by whom they have been contributed. Nor is the compiler wholly destitute of practical knowledge of the art, since, dur ing her residence in India, she enjoyed constant opportunities of improv ing her acquaintance wub culinary science, and of ascertaining her own skill in a species of useful knowledge scarcely sufficiently studied by the young ladies of the present day. Although the style of living adopted by British residents in India is generally luxurious, native cookery differs so widely from the European style, that it is necessary to teach the servants the method of preparing the elegant novelties continually introduced at home; and the experience previously obtained in England havmg been found exceedingly useful upon many occasions, the results are given with some degree of confidence.
