Old Cookery Books and Ancient Cuisine

By W. Carew Hazlitt.

“the English artisan, if he could get a rump-steak or a leg of mutton once a week, was content to starve on the other six days.” One might sum up this book’s essential thesis as “animals don’t cook, humans do.” A wonderful history of cooking.
