AT the Requefl of my Friends, especially my Scho- lars, I have publijh' d this Book. 1 know it will he /aid, that any Thing of this Kind is needlejs, there being fo many Books already extant \ but this ObjeCiicn will be fully anfwer'd when it is confider'd, that all of them, or at leaf all that 1 have feen, are far fioort of being generally ufeful, efpecially in thefe Northern Parts, where the Seafons occafion fuch Alterations in the Bills of Fare for each Month, from thofe calculated for the Southern Parts •, fame being fil'd with Receipts quite foreign to the Purpofe, as for beautifying Wafhes, &c. others fluff'd with Ragoos, and other Difhes a-la-mode de France, as they call them; in which the Mixture of Spices is fo great, and the Expence fo extravagant, that it frightens moft People from ufing them ; or, if any he fo curious as to try them, and follow their Rules punctually, inftead of Meats that are healthful, and agreeable to the Palate, they will find a Hotch-potch, deftruCtive to an JLngUfh Conflitution. I would not have it thought that lam an Enemy to made Difhes, or ignorant in making them, as will be feen in the Book where Occafion offers: J have differed the French Difhes, and given their Names in Englijh, as well as French *, and have fhewn how they may be made to Advantage, by taking fuch Ingredients as are healthful and pleafant to the Stomach. And in my Receipts for Pickling and Preferving, 1 have made Choice of fuch Fruits, &c. as are of our own Growth, and tajy to come at. In jhort, through the whole, I have PREF A C E endeavour'd to make every 'Thing as flam as poffihle, \o as to he underload by every Capacity. The candid Reader, 1 hope, will pardon the Piatnnefs of the Style, and at cep t the Work as a Thing deftgn'd for the Good of my Country, to which 1 am a hearty IVtell-wifber. The Term a-la-braife, as the French call it, m # par- ticular Way of flowing Flejh, Fowls, or Fi(h, will find in the Receipts. Tcu mu(h order the particular Ingredients as to Quantity of Herbs, Spices, &c. according to the Bignefs ofi the Thing you want to drejs that IVay, and the flower you do it the better *, the Cover or Lid of the Thing you braife any Thing in, mufi have a Rim to it to turn up to hold lighted Charcoal, and the Fire belpw mufi be very little at firft, or you may caufe it to burn to the Bottom before the Liquid is drawn cut of the In- gredients. The Meaning of a Brown is a Piece of But- ter put into a Stew pan, and Flour dufted in, Jtirring it, with a wooden Ladle till it is brown, then put in Gra- vey enough to make it the Thicknefs you would have it, confidering the Time you. have to keep it flowing. Farces are a Sort of Forc'd-meats that we make ufe of in fluffing the Bodies of Fowls, &c. or putting them betwixt the Flejh and the Skin ; the particular Ways you will find in the feveral Receipts. Bards of Bacon are Slices of the Flitch cut the broad Way. See how ufed in the Receipts. Court Bouillon, is a Pickle cr Marinade, we make ufe of to give Ftfh a good Reliffi before boiling. See the Receipts. Bilques are Scops, with Ragoos in them, as you will find in their proper places. Entremets are fmall Difloes or Plates of Sauces, or other Things to fill up your Table, and to complete the Courfe, as you will fee in the Bills of Fare. Blanc-Manger is a Term the French give to what we call Flummery j which is, in their Meaning, fomething white to eat. Hors d‘ Oeuvres are little Difoes compos'd of choice little PREFACE. light Things, to he fet betwixt the other Di/hes to complete your Table. Lardouns are little Bits of Bacon, cut fquare, to lard your Fleftj with, that is to fay, Veal, Beef \ Mutton, or any Sort of Bowls, as you like ; fometimes we lard Fifh with Eels, they being reckon'd one of the moft fuitable Ftjh to lard any other Sort of Fifh with. The Names of Di/hes that have French Terms to them are fuppofed to be the Names of the Cooks that invented them, or the Names of the Perjons that fir [I took a Liking to them •, though, I believe, there are a great many of them invented by the Englijh ; and the French Names have, I believe, been given them to excite Curiofity, and make them by that Artifice better liked. I have feen as good Englijh Cooks as the World can produce, and I have had alio the Opportunity of working with feveral of different Nations -, but I cannot fay 1 ever met with a Foreigner who had fo found and good a Way of working as an old Englijh Cook ; and I never have found their Ways of dreffing much better than a deal of profefs'd Hotch- Potch, &c. I hope there is no Occafion for further Explanation of my Book, efpecially to an ingenious Prafiijer, or even to thofe who want to improve tbemfelves in. the Art, at leafi I have endeavoured to make the whole as plain and intelligible as I cou'd to all Capacities, and fhall chearfully fatisfy any of my Friends and Pur chafers, on Application, either perfonally, or by Letter, who may meet with any Particulars in it they cannot com- prehend. As this Book is form'd on the Refult of many Years Experience, I prefume no Body will difpute its Practica- bility, the great Excellence of all Works of this Kind.— Good Manners forbid me to make invidious Comparifons with any particular Book, or Books on this Subject, intit led Fra&ical Cookery, &c. and 1 doubt not but the Unpre- judiced and 1 m partial,ingenious Prafitfers,will do ,)ne JuJlice on that Head.—As lam well a fared, what we PREFACE call the Ground Wtork or Fundamentals of Cookery, toge- ther with all the approv’d Receipts and valuable mo- dern Improvementss are therein fully exhibited and ex- plained *, I beg Leave to recommend the Book to the Public in general, and to my Friends and Benefablors in this City (to whom I return due Acknowledgments) in particular, as one of the mofi Ufeful as well as moSf Practical extant.
