Ralph Ayres' Cookery Book

Kidder's Receipts
Reprinted from an engraved copperplate version of the original edition of 1740, advertised on the title pages as 'For the use of his scholars', and really intended, in the editor's view, as a handbook for the professional cook or trainee chef engaged in large-scale catering rather than for domestic use. Jane Jakeman sets the book in its historical context, pointing out that unlike Hannah Glasse's cookery book (1747), which was intended for the general household ('Every servant who can read wilt be capable of making a tolerable good cook'), Kidder offers 'the preparation of more elaborate and dramatic creations, food that can be dished up with a flourish, with large-scale planning for many di...

Don't be Deceived by the French
A light-hearted, illustrated look at the French language, concentrating on the words and phrases that could trip up unwary students. If a French person asks you for ‘assistance’ they are not asking for your help, but your attendance at an event. When they say ‘attendez’, they are not inviting you to a party, but are asking you to wait. Avoid an ‘entente glaciale’ by learning the difference between ‘heurter’ (to strike) and ‘blesser’ (to hurt). This book contains over 200 of these deceptive words also known as ‘false friends’ and by reading it you can avoid being deceived by pitfalls in the French language.
