The Book Of Vegetable Cookery – Usual And Unusual By Errol Sherson

Pre-owned. Excerpt from the introduction: “This is a book about the cookery of vegetables of all sorts, including fruits served as an accompaniment to meat or fish, or as a separate vegetable course, and also flowers treated in a variety of ways. It is not a book written for vegetarians. I do not pretend to encourage, in the smallest degree, abstinence from food of animal origin, for many of the following recipes could not be carried out without the sustaining broth made from the stewed flesh of bird and beast.
it primarily intended?
What, then, is the scope of this book, and for whom is it primarily intended? Its aim is to introduce to the British people – Scots and English alike – many preparations of vegetable food suitable to be served with fish, meat, or poultry, or as a separate course; and it deals
also with a number of vegetables and fruits little known (or perhaps altogether unknown) to the great majority of my countrymen. Finally, it is specially intended for those who can recognise good cooking when it comes their way and know how to appreciate it.”
