Author Description

A critic of the inaccuracies and obscurities found in so many cookbooks of the 18th century, Mrs. Frazer, a teacher of the culinary arts in Edinburgh, set out to produce a cookbook that could be used by “all ranks and conditions, as well as...those who have attained a tolerable knowledge of these arts.” The Practice of Cookery is an important addition to the library of anyone interested in culinary history.
