About this book

A good sauce can turn an ordinary fish into the centre of a formal dinner. That principle shapes Catherine Owen's 1889 cooking handbook, which starts with sauces before moving through soups, fish, oysters, meat dishes and sweets. Owen explains how white and brown sauces provide foundations for many variations, and how concentrated stock can help a cook prepare dishes without keeping fresh stock constantly at hand.

The recipes pay close attention to texture, proportions and presentation. Small seafood canapés, cheese biscuits and chilled cheese soufflés show the range of dishes covered, with directions for shaping, garnishing and serving them. Readers can explore the ingredients and techniques behind elaborate nineteenth century meals, or study Owen's way of breaking complicated preparations into familiar cooking processes. The emphasis falls on care and coordination, making this a useful historical look at the work behind a polished dinner table.
