Books read Sept 24 Cookbooks

  

 

Breakfast Dainties by Thomas J. Murrey
TOC where recipes are listed, not in any special order.
Cookery is discussed.
This is not a typical cookbook. Each of the subjects are discussed.
For fruits there are apples, baked and bananas, telling you how to select the best fruit. recipes are mentioned in paragraph format, nothing like a formal recipe in a cookbook.
Beverages have their own chapter giving different methods for making the items.
Lot of history is mentioned, years of certain things that happened in cooking and ingredients used back then.
To make bread it asks for a pill of liquid yeast, no idea what that is. some mention of some measurements of other items needed.
Like the tips along the way: how to tell if an egg is ok to use.. Also how to tell if a potato is good to use.
So much useful fun information to learn about.  To keep the nutrition in the potato, boil in skins just in water. It's also so much more easier to peel skin after it's cooked.
Resource listing of other works are included at the end. Other works by the publisher are included also.
