-APICIUS REDIVIVUS;-
OR,
THE COOK'S ORACLE
Wherein especially
THE ART OF COMPOSING SOUPS, SAUCES, AND FLAVOURING ESSENCES :
IS MADE SO CLEAR AND EASY, BY THE QUANTITY OF EACH ARTICLE BEING ACCURATELY STATED BY WEIGHT AND MEASURE, THAT EVERY ONE MAY SOON LEARN TO DRESS A DINNER, AS WELL AS THE MOST EXPERIENCED COOK ;
BEING SIX HUNDRED RECEIPTS
THE RESULT OF ACTUAL EXPERIMENTS
INSTITUTED IN
THE KITCHEN OF A PHYSICIAN,
FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPOSING
A CULINARY CODE FOR THE RATIONAL EPICURE,
AND AUGMENTING THE ALIMENTARY ENJOYMENT OF PRIVATE FAMILIES
COMBINING ECONOMY WITH ELEGANCE AND SAVING EXPENSE TO HOUSEKEEPERS,
AND TROUBLE TO SERVANTS.
Kitchiner, William, 1775-1827
" I have taken as much pains in describing, in the fullest manner, how to make, in
the easiest, most agreeable, and most economical way, those Dishes which daily contribute to the comforts of the middle rank of Society, as I have in directing the preparation of those piquante and elaborate relishes, the most ingenious and accomplished " Officers of the Month" have invented for the amusement of Grands '>
Gourmands. These are so composed, as to be as agreeable and useful to the stomach,
as they are inviting to the appetite ; nourishing without being inflammatory, and
savoury without being surfeiting."  - Vide, Preface, page 3.
