About this book
Feeding a family on limited wages guides Charles Elmé Francatelli's cookery handbook. His introduction explains how equipment, fuel and ingredients can be used economically, and the numbered recipes turn that aim into meals. Boiled beef comes with vegetables and dumplings, while the cooking liquid becomes an oatmeal soup for the following day. Quantities, prices and serving sizes make household budgeting part of the cooking itself.
The later recipes include Irish stew, fish soup and mackerel baked with vinegar and onions. Francatelli gives attention to cheaper cuts, locally affordable fish and saving cooking fat for another meal. His direct instructions also reveal the practical circumstances of a British kitchen, including the option of sending a dish to the baker's oven.
