By "The GJ-. C.," 

 AUTHOE OF " BOUND THE TABLE." 



4 It is difficult even for a literary critic to read a cookery book straight through, but we have tested a few 

 of the recipes, and those have been very good." Athenaeum. 



" To those who wish to rajse gastronomy into a fine art, the suggestions of the author will be acceptable, 

 for if the everyday fare of ordinary mortals is to be prepared by 'The G. C.'s ' recipes, the result will be a 

 repast suitable to the palate of Lucullus. A variety of new savouries are also given." Morning Post. 



Quite up to the level of a good cook's respectful attention, or an epicure's critical regard ..... 

 Reducing fine cookery to the understanding of ordinary intelligence. From all reproach of ignorant 

 pretension this manual of plain directions is free ..... The reader will find in these pages a choice of 

 dishes, not one of which is inadequately or erroneously formulated." Daily Telegraph, April 28, 1887.
