Excerpt from A Practical Dictionary of Cookery: 1200 Tested Recipes This Dictionary has been written with the View of providing a thoroughly practical and reliable hand-book to all classes of cookery. The recipes are the result of practical knowledge, and precise directions have in every instance been given. The difficulty of readily finding the particular recipe required I have minimised as far as possible in the present work by the addition, at the end of the volume, of an index of all the recipes, arranged under the different courses. The recipes themselves are in alphabetical order. The question of time required for cooking each particular dish is one to which particular attention has been given. I have indicated as nearly as possible the exact number of minutes required, and, in the case of baking, whether the time given applies to a quick or a slow oven.
