Outdoor luncheon was very popular with the landed Victorian gentry, whose midday meal took on the proportions of a banquet. This book features a variety of ideas and recipes, from nourishing soups to tasty pies and sandwiches, as well as recipes for a selection of puddings and drinks. |
| Synopsis: |
This is one of a series of books which give both fascinating snippets of information from Mrs Beeton's original edition of "Cookery and Household Management" as well as practical and up-to-date ideas for cooking and presenting special meals. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert set the trend for outdoor luncheon on their shooting parties at Balmoral, and these became popular with the Victorian landed gentry. This book features a wide variety of ideas and recipes, from soups to tasty pies and sandwiches, as well as recipes for a selection of puddings and drinks. Also included is advice and tips on modern storage and packaging for maximum freshness and taste. |
