About this book
The title page describes Cakes & Ale as a dissertation on banquets, interspersed with recipes described as more or less original and anecdotes described as mainly veracious. The discussion of breakfast argues that the meal should involve neither hurry nor formality. The writer suggests that indigestible food-stuffs have probably lost more battles than sore feet and bad ammunition.
The discussion of curry-powder describes leaving ingredients overnight in a cool oven, pounding them in a marble mortar the following morning, and rubbing them through a sieve. The writer declines to recommend Kitchener's curry-powder, despite finding the name suggestive of good cooking.
