PREFACE
TO THE
THIRD KDITION.
IT seems only the other day that I wrote the preface to
my first edition, and it is hard to say anything original
in a preface I hope it will be some time before a fourth
is wanted.
My only apology for coming before the public is the
knowledge that when a man eats, and eats well, he is in a
condition which conduces to his comfort and good temper.
The publication of this book may reveal the secret of
this achievement ; at any rate, I can honestly recommend
every one of the recipes. Only try them, and I hope you
will say the book is not a failure.
I would like to say, however, so as to clear up any
doubt there might be on the subject, that the great
majority of the recipes in this book are my own invention,
a few were bought by me, and are, consequently, my own
property, and a few have been given me by friends.
In presenting, in its new dress, this Third Edition to
tho publioi I hcniTQ to tiiank them for a patronage that has
v,;ili

SOUPS.
For making soups of any hind, it is advisable always to
have strong stock ; having that ready you can make any soup
you ivish. Fleshy meat, not fat or cooked meat^ must he used
for soups and gentle simmering is absolutely necessary,
1— STOCK.
4 or 5 lbs. shin beef 2 onions
2 knuckles veal 8 cloves
Any trimmings of lean meat 14 to 18 pepper corns
and fresh bones 2 large pieces of ginger
Small bunch of herbs 1 lemon (juice)
4 or 5 carrots i lemon (rind)
4 or 5 turnips 8 quarts of cold water✪ Stock.
Mode. — Allow the meat to stand in the water in which
■it is to boil for at least fifteen minutes, then let simmer
and add the above ingredients, with the exception of the
pepper and salib, which I find is better to add just before
straining. Allow all to simmer for four or five hours,
(more ij convenient) ; the longer it boils the richer the
stock. This stock also serves as white stock if a little milk
is added.
