Excerpt from Martyn's Menu Dictionary
It should also he remarked that this book is not intended to take the place of works like Fellows' C'hef's Reminder and a Selection of Dishes, or Senn's French Menus, both of which excellent books are in purpose a dictionary of dishes - instead of, like this, a dictionary of words and phrases.
The making of the book was suggested by the little volume entitled Latin de Cuisine, published several years ago, and in conception (before this work commenced to grow to its present larger size), I found many suggestions and a good deal of assist ance in a study of its pages.

Excerpt from Martyn's Menu Dictionary
So great is the number of French words, names and terms in use for dining and culinary purposes, that it would require a large volume to list all of them, and it has been difficult to decide just where to draw the line between those which do and those which do not need explanation or translation, but I believe that the selection contained in this dictionary will be found of practical service when compiling or revising menus or bills of fare, etc., and on other similar occasions.
It should also be remarked that this book is not intended to take the place of works like Fellows "Chef's Reminder and a Selection of Dishes," or Senn's "French Menus," both of which excellent books are in purpose a dictionary of dishes - instead of, like this, a dictionary of words and phrases.
The making of the book was suggested by the little volume entitled "Latin de Cuisine," published several years ago, and in conception (before this work commenced to grow to its present larger size), I found many suggestions and a good deal of assistance in a study of its pages.
In conclusion, I take pleasure in acknowledging that in the somewhat arduous task of compilation I received much valuable assistance from Mr. Adolphe Meyer, author of "The Post-Graduate Cookery Book" and other equally well known works.
