Excerpt from The Cook's Oracle: Containing Receipts for Plain Cookery, on the Most Economical Plan for Private Families; Containing Also a Complete System of Cookery for Catholic Families, Being the Result of Actual Experiments Instituted in the Kitchen of William Kitchiner, M. D
The Author has endeavoured to write the following Receipts so plainly, that they may be as easily understood in the Kitchen as he trusts they will be relished in the Dining Room - and has been more ambitions to present to the Public a Work which will contri bute to the daily Comfort of All, than to seem elaborately Scientific.
