Sinopsi

The design of the following little book is to furnish receipts for a select variety of French dishes, explained and described in such a manner as to make them intelligible to American cooks, and practicable with American utensils and American fuel.áThose that (according to the original work) cannot be prepared without an unusual and foreign apparatus have been omitted, and also such as can only be accomplished by the consummate skill and long practice of native French cooks. Many dishes have been left out, as useless in a country where provisions are abundant.áOn this side of the Atlantic all persons in respectable life can obtain better articles of food than sheepsâÇÖ tails, calvesâÇÖ ears, &c. and the preparation of these articles (according to the European receipts) is too tedious and complicated to be of any use to the indigent, or to those who can spare but little time for their cookery. Also, the translator has inserted no receipts which contain nothing different from the usual American mode of preparing the same dishes.áMost of the French Cookery Books introduced into this country have failed in their object, from the evident deficiency of the translators in a competent knowledge of the technical terms of cookery and from the multitude of French words interspersed through the directions, and which cannot, in general, be comprehended without an incessant and troublesome reference to the glossary.ááThe translator of the following pages has endeavored, according to the best of her ability, to avoid these defects, and has aimed at making a book of practical utility to all those who may have a desire to introduce occasionally at their tables good specimens of the French culinary art.áFrom these receipts she believes that many advantageous hints may be taken for improvements in American cookery, and she hopes that, upon trial, this little work may be found equally useful in private families, hotels, and boarding-houses.
