Reader's note

This classic cookery book is still being revised and updated with the latest edition being published as late as 2019. Mrs Rombauer's book came to be written during some tragic circumstances. She explains a little of her thought process in her preface. - At the request of my children, who were leaving home, I began a record of 'what mother used to make'. They thought, correctly, that the work involved would help me tide over a period of loneliness. My daughter says that when my book is praised I purr like a cat. Perhaps I do. I can't help it for I am a fortunate woman. After middle age, my family duties ended, my brood scattered, my civic and social interested in younger hands, many doors that seemed familiar were now closed. Suddenly a new one flew open. It has led to a multitude of human contacts and experiences. Why wouldn't I purr like a cat? - written in a colloquial and conversational tone, find out why this title is one of America's most popular cookery books. This particular edition has been adapted for the English kitchen so that us over the pond can sample the wonderful cuisine of our American cousins.
