What's cooking in the city? a series of recipes
Published by City of London Branch, Red Cross Society, London, 1972
Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Illustrations by Lorraine Gill (The City and Guilds of London Art School) / Front cover illustration "The Lord Mayor's Procession Passing the Mansion House," 1844 (illustrator). 1st Edition. Booklet with white plastic comb binding. Many of the seafood recipes are, of course, from the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers. The egg mousse recipe, however, is from Mr. A.J. Balcombe, Master of the Worshipful Company of Tin-Plate Workers. The Drapers, the Barbers, and the Plumbers are also heard from in turn, though the recipe for Filet of Beef Wellington (a bit heavy on the bacon for our taste, though she does note liver pate can be substituted) is from Mrs. Ralph M. Snagge. (Pamela Scrimgeour, 1913-2004, as most of us surely know, married Ralph Mordaunt Snagge (1911-2001), son of Sir Mordaunt Snagge, at London in 1938. And no, none of these people were characters in a Harry Potter novel.) Heavy on the desserts, of course (including Sherry Hedgehog, though lamentably no mention of Spotted Dick.) No, we cannot explain the spellings "Bortsch" or "Spinach Roularde." We also reluctantly conclude Mr. George Vine, Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, was not pulling Lady Heap's leg when he submitted with a straight face his recipe for "Greek Moussaka a L'Anglaise," entirely lacking bechamel and substituting "young cabbage" for eggplant. Young. Cabbage. 121 pp. including Index. (Our prix est fixe.).
