1852réf. FBA104/L23Maroon cloth re-backed spine with gilt and decoration. Green cloth boards. We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available. A lovely copy produced in the mid 1850s and creatively refurbished to a good quality. This was a prized edition that belonged to Jack Lang. Dr. Kitchiner's original book first published in 1829. A bestseller in its day Kitchiner's fundamentals of 19th-century cookery cover the gamut from meat & fish to gravies & sauces to puddings & pies including many of his favorite "receipts." Interestingly enough he toured with a moveable taste cabinet; a folding cupboard stocked his unique mustards and sauces. And unlike most food writers of the era he whipped up the recipes himself carried out the dreaded after-dinner clean up and did all his own housework! A marvelous culinary artifact of 19th-century cookery this book is certain to delight both social historians and food-lovers alike. A household name during the 19th-century WILLIAM KITCHINER M.D. 1775-1827 was an optician inventor of telescopes amateur musician and exceptional cook. Additional works include: The Invalid's Oracle The Housekeeper's Ledger The Traveller's Oracle and The Art of Invigorating and Prolonging Life. NOTE: This is an original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don computer scientist food and wine connoisseur Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide 'Midsummer House'- Cambridge's paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. In 2008 Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation alongside other members of the Department and acted as the Foundation's Chair. The project's original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a "success disaster" as Jack would say as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK's most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning. Houlston & Sons. hardcover
