Old Time Kitchen Volume 1: Meats, Vegetables, and More Antique Recipes

Description The ultimate retro cookbook filled with hundreds of antique recipes restored for future generations. Before the supermarket, online ordering, and celebrity chefs, people created delicious meals in an old-time kitchen. The CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop and World’s Fair historian Mark Bussler presents a curated collection of old-fashioned recipes for cooks and chefs of all skill levels looking to travel back into culinary time. Features: More than 800 antique recipes Valuable butchery and carving techniques Easy starter recipes like soups and vegetable preparation Advanced recipes, pickling, confectionary, and more Sections on meats, vegetables, brewing, pies, collaring, puddings, and more Antique home remedies Full-size 8 1/2″ x 11″ pages Old fashioned weathered type font Restored, old-time illustrations The modern food and beverage industry dates back to the displays of canning and preserves at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. What was new and life-changing for visitors to the Columbian Exposition has, more than a century later, sterilized modern cooking practices and damaged both flavor and the environment. “Before you could buy your chicken breast plastic wrapped on styrofoam, you would learn to cook the entire chicken and not waste anything. Not only does it taste better, but it also leaves nothing to waste.” Based on a 19th-century manuscript restored and edited by the CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop (Dante’s Inferno: Retro Hell-Bound Edition, Milton’s Paradise Lost: Gustave Doré Retro Restored Edition,) the Old Time Kitchen antique cook book restores and preserves more than 500 classic recipes of meats, vegetables, puddings, confectionaries, wines, pickles, herbs, made meals, and more. “What I find most fun about the Old Time Kitchen series is the diversity of recipes based on simple ingredients. Long before people could just shop for whatever they wanted at the local grocery store, they had to live on what foods and herbs were available. So the recipes range from good ‘ole fashioned family cooking fare to downright bizarre and experimental by today’s standards. Some really incredible dishes are included in this restored antique cookbook destined to be your family favorites. But, I also dare readers to try the turnip wine recipe and pickled ox palates.”– Bussler Table of Contents: Chapter 1: How to Cook Chapter 2: Boiling in General Chapter 3: Roasting in General Chapter 4: Baking Chapter 5: Broiling Chapter 6: Frying Chapter 7: Stewing Chapter 8: Hashing & Mincing Chapter 9: Fricasseeing Chapter 10: Ragoos Chapter 11: Gravies, Cullises, & Other Sauces Chapter 12: Made Dishes Chapter 13: Vegetables & Roots Chapter 14: Puddings Chapter 15: Pies Chapter 16: Pancakes & Fritters Chapter 17: Tarts & Puffs Chapter 18: Cheesecakes & Custards Chapter 19: Cakes, Biscuits, Etc Chapter 20: The Art of Confectionary Chapter 21: Pickling Chapter 22: Collaring Chapter 23: Potting Chapter 24: Curing Various Kinds of Meats, Sousings, Etc.
