Excerpt from Kettner's Book of the Table: A Manual of Cookery, Practical, Theoretical, Historical
Brussels sprouts, and there is something to suggest a new name-flemish soup - because Brussels is the capital of the Flemish country. There is nothing scientific in this. It is a mere senseless heaping up of names and receipts, to the min of cooks and to the incessant disappointment of the dinner-table.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a passionate and insightful exploration of the art of cooking, delving into the complexities of culinary language and the history of ingredients and dishes. The author challenges the prevailing notions of culinary perfection, arguing that too much emphasis on complicated recipes and extravagant techniques obscures the true essence of good food. Drawing inspiration from the writings of great food writers and philosophers like Brillat-Savarin and Dr. Johnson, the author weaves together culinary history, philosophy, and personal anecdotes to make a compelling case for a more straightforward and thoughtful approach to cooking. He argues for the importance of clear communication, accurate terminology, and a focus on fundamental principles rather than mere spectacle. The book's exploration of the historical development of culinary vocabulary and its critique of the often-misunderstood language of food are especially relevant to those interested in the cultural and social history of dining. The book ultimately aims to demystify the world of cooking, reminding us that great food is not about showing off, but rather about understanding and respecting the inherent qualities of ingredients and the simple, timeless principles of good cooking.
