"Cut off the fins, and nick the brown side under the head; then
take out the guts, and dry them with a cloth, boil them in salt and water; make
either gravy, shrimp, cockle, or muscle sauce, and garnish it with red
cabbage."
― Experienced English Housekeeper, ‘To boil Flounders’
A monumental 18th-century
cookbook! This 1793 edition of “The
Experienced English Housekeeper” includes many recipes that would still be
desirable in the 21st-century, but there are other recipes and
methods that are significantly less desirable! Roasted Lark, Stewed Lampreys,
and Walnut Catchup! The recipes are concise, short, and easy to read – which is
helpful when you really want to make the cream custard dessert quickly! Note
that this edition also contains folding engraved, illustrations!
