The Official Handbook for the National Training School for Cookery containing The Lessons on Cookery which constitute the Course of Instruction in the School

Beschreibung

A very scarce, second edition of the official handbook for the National Training School for Cookery providing comprehensive instruction and numerous late Victorian recipes. In the publisher's original blue cloth binding. This volume is a second edition. Originally issued by the National Training School of Cookery in South Kensington (established 1873, renamed in 1902), this comprehensive work outlines the cookery lessons taught at the school, in structured "lesson" format. This edition covers utensils, cleaning materials, lessons on cleaning and lessons on cookery.The handbook was written to be easily understandable by those with 'no knowledge on the subject', and each clear and concise recipe completes with 'Now it is finished.' The book was compiled by R. O. C., Rose Owen Cole, and incorporated many of the recipes honed by teachers of the school, such as: Oatmeal Biscuits, Yorkshire Tea Cakes, Mutton Broth, Tomates Farcie au Gratin, Melted Butter Sauce, Stewed Lentils, Carrot Pudding, Batter Pudding, Alexandra Pudding, and Vennoise Pudding, to name a few. These Lessons on Cookery are encouraging and accessible, and the students of the school would no doubt have treasured their copy of this handbook. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Rubbing and bumping to extremities, resulting in the odd closed tear and chip to head and tail of spine, especially the tail where the cloth is slightly loose, but holding. Slight rubbing to boards with the odd slight handling mark and slight discolouration. Hinges slightly cracked, partially exposing binding materials at endpapers, particularly the front hinge. Previous seller's label to rear paste down. Rubbing and the odd slight handling mark to endpapers. Previous owner's inscription to front free endpaper, "Ada Whituell". Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean with the odd handling mark and spot, heavier to first and last few leaves and fore edge. Slight offsetting from pressed flowers or leaves to pages 30-35. Good.
