Author Description

Physical description: 132 p.: plate, ill., facsims.; 23cm. Summary: In this book Gordon Grimley has gathered a wide range of typical Victorian recipes, from some of the best-known cookery books of the day. Some are frankly exotic: A Turtle Bottom Dish. But others remind us of hat real British Cooking once was: an art based on simple ingredients of superb quality- good beef, mutton, game. Solid and satisfying, or frivolous and fantastic, all these recipes make for fascinating reading - and delicious eating.
