Synopsis
Excerpt from Fifty Lunches
Ont-oi-door luncheons at cricket matches, picnics, boating parties, and race meetings are spécialités in their way which I have not touched upon, neither have I said anything about the contents of the sports man's basket. The subject may perhaps form an excuse for another little book. But givers of luncheon parties within doors ought to find, I think, some little assistance in Fifty Lunches. Just one word of advice. Let the menu for such gatherings be as short as possible. Nothing in the way of entertain ment is less enjoyable than an over - wrought midday meal, dragging its slow length along till the afternoon is almost spent. If the day happen to be warm, and the room at all full, the discussion of a series of good things becomes exceedingly trying to many people, a reunion which should be as light in its effect as possible waxes dull and heavy, and thus the most hospitable intentions are not appreciated.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the world of Victorian culinary practices, a time when entertaining at home was an art form. The author, a respected figure in the field of cookery, presents a collection of luncheon recipes designed to elevate the midday meal from a simple repast to a sophisticated and enjoyable social occasion. The author meticulously outlines recipes for a variety of dishes, from elegant seafood preparations to rich game and poultry entrees. Throughout the book, the author's voice shines through with practical advice, showcasing a deep understanding of not just ingredients and techniques, but also the social dynamics of hosting and the importance of timing and presentation. The book also reflects a broader cultural shift in Victorian society, as the author underscores the growing interest in lighter, more delicate dishes, departing from the heavier meat-centric approach that was common in previous generations. The author's careful attention to detail and emphasis on the importance of well-balanced, well-executed meals for entertaining offer a valuable perspective on the evolution of culinary trends and the vital role that food plays in social interaction.
