Book Synopsis
19th Century Receipts, Volume 6, Part 1 presents gravies and sauces, which as every cook knows, are often meal-makers. Whether your cooking includes vegetables, meats or both, gravies and sauces have long been favorite additions to a wide variety of dishes.
Likewise, meat and meatless soups are as popular today as they were yesterday – and most would agree that homemade varieties are vastly superior to our modern chemically altered and preserved canned or packaged products. Everything you need to know about making gravies, sauces, soups, stocks, and straining with a Tammy Cloth is included, along with a huge number of time-tested recipes to suit any taste.
Part 2 contains a wonderful assortment of receipts for gathering, cleaning, keeping and eating fresh fruits, vegetables, salads and salad dressings that will suit any dinner table, meat or meatless. (Canning fruits and vegetables is described in Volume 7.)
