Teach Yourself to Cook by Evelyne White
One of the very first titles to be published in the Teach Yourself series, Teach Yourself to Cook contains a huge array of recipes which are certain to tickle the tastebuds or, in some cases, churn the stomach! From old favourites such as strawberry jam or Irish stew to the less immediately appealing curried pigeons or stewed heart, this book is sure to inform and entertain the reader in equal measure. 'Successful adventure is generally fearless. An explorer must be courageous, for he does not reach his objective unless he is bold enough to attempt the unknown. Similarly, the housewife in her sphere must have this spirit of adventure, in order to produce new and exciting dishes she must be alive to the possibilities of flavourings and ready to experiment with them...The housewife who wishes to provide for her family and guests dishes which are attractive, appetising, and at the same time nutritious, must exercise forethought and allow her imagination to operate freely. Here are are few examples of adventuring in cookery: macaroni cheese to which a little finely chopped ham or other left-over meat is added to the sauce; veal cutlets with boiled cucumber; fried bananas served on a bed of creamed spinach.' In 2008 Teach Yourself will celebrate its 70th anniversary. As part of our plans to commemorate this publishing phenomenon, we will publish four facsimiles of some of our quirkiest and classic titles. Each of these facsimiles will look and feel exactly like the originals; hardback, dust-jacket, end papers. They will be beautiful (and very competitively priced) little books.
