Critiques
Brown Bread Pudding by Mrs. Charles [Edith Nicolls] Clarke, "High-class Cookery Recipes," p.177, very good.
An excursion into nostalgia on two levels - firstly for the lives of the Victorian gardeners, and secondly for Harry Dodson and the fascinating programmes of The Victorian Kitchen Garden series, made in the 1980s.
This book has some useful insights into the daily work of scullery maids, kitchenmaids and cooks in Victorian households. It was written to accompany a TV series, so the writing isn't particularly scholarly and Davies often makes broad generalisations from a particular cook's personal experiences which is not always useful.

The book tells all about the lives and routines of servants, describes the many appliances and implements used in a Victorian kitchen, and gives detailed descriptions on everything one would need to know in order to be a true Victorian kitchen person! I was especially intrigued by the many evolutions of the kitchen stove. It's amazing how many innovative designs preceded our modern electric stove!
There were some pretty outrageous recipes and preparation techniques described. I was especially and most disgustedly intrigued by the ox tongue. HOW is this at all appetizing and how ever is it served?? Does each person get their own tongue or is it cut up and shared? Gag me with a spoon!
Lovely read!… (plus d'informations)
