Synopsis

The Practice Of Cookery And Pastry by Mrs. I Williamson is a complete 19th century kitchen manual. First issued in Edinburgh in 1862, the book collects hundreds of tested recipes and practical techniques for daily cooking and pastry work. It covers every major culinary area: soups, fish, sauces, beef, mutton, veal and pork, poultry, game, and a large array of made dishes, vegetables, puddings, and desserts. It also includes sections on preserves, pickles, and beverages, as well as foundational methods such as browning, thickening, pastry making, and stock preparation. The author, a noted confectioner and pastry cook who taught cookery, offers instructions designed for home cooks and modest catering needs, promising economical, elegant results. The volume is structured with explicit directions, quantities, and timings, and presents a window into Victorian domestic gastronomy and kitchen practice.
