PREFACE
To THE
R E A D E R.
Ltho' the Shortnes of Mans Life is imputed
by fome Perons, to his departure from the
imple and frugal Manner of Living of our
- firt Parents, and to the vat Quantities of
exquiite Ragoo's and Sauces, that are continually co--
veted; it is certain, That this Prastice cannot be
jutly cenur'd, at leat, without calling in Quetion
the Condut of Divine Providence, that has ordain'd ,
fo great a Variety of Things for the ue of Man; as ,
long as he keeps within due Bounds, and does notneg-
lest the particular Duties of his Calling: Not but that
there is good reaon to condemn the Luxury of fome .
Princes of Antiquity, who not contenting themelves
to furnih their Tables, at vat Expences, with every
Thing, that was mot rare and cotly, in the other
Parts of the World, but alo extended their Magnifi
cence, to the ordering of Pearls, of an inetimable
Value, to be ferv'd up in Drink; whilt they were
as hard-hearted towards others, as they were indul-
to themelves, and ignorant in Matters of Re- ,
igion. - - , ,

Indeed, all Men are not endu'd with this dicerning ,
Faculty; which nevertheles, is a Ray of their Rea

tions of Travellers, there are fome whole Nations,
which are fo far from undertanding, in the leat, how
to raife an Appetite, by a due Preration of Mestes,
proper for their Nourihment, that they are altoge
ther ignorant of the Excellency and Nature of the
mot part of them; ften preferring the mot mean
and ill-dres'd Meats, or eating them, after the most
diftateful manner: So that upon the Whole, Neat
nes may only be faid to Preide in Europe, where the ,
bet Ways of Seafoning and Dreffing all forts of Pro-
viions, which that Continent affords, are well {nown;,
, and where Justice is done, at the fame time, to the
wonderful Produtions, causd by the happy Situation
of other Climates. It mut alo be acknowledg'd,

PREFACE
READER
Ince this Work is not the firt that has been fet
forth on the fame Subje&, there is no neceity
\ of jutifying the Deign of it againt the Cavils
of malevolent and cenorious Carpers, who are
no les ready to debar Mankind of the Ufe of thee
forts of Dainties, than of that of Ragoo's and high
feaon'd Meats, a jut Vindication of which is in
fcribd in the Preface to the Court and Country-Cook,
equally oppoing their erroneous Opinion, That thee
Dainties tend only to the impairing of the Health and
the hortening of Humane Life: And indeed, nothing
is more natural than fuch an Apology, in this Cafe;
nt to make mention of Fruits, againt the ue of
which, without doubt, no Objection can be made, as
being the mot innocent Prodctions of Nature. As
for the ret of thee Varieties, when us'd with dua
moderation (which is always to be preupposd) do
they not afford almot innumerable Delights and Ad
vantages; to deny which to the Exigencies of Man
kind would be a fignal Piece of Injutice, more epeci
ally in regard that they are of fo great energy in the
comforting as well of healthful Perons, as of thoe
that are fick, or indiposd? ,
- - | La al This
|
The Preface to R
Ts is a Truth fo well known, that the Ulfe of
Sweet-meats, is allow'd even in the mot retired Fa
milies, and beides the peculiar Trade of Confetion
ers, there are many Perons of Quality, and accom
plih'd Ladies, who fometimes divert themfelves with
making feveral forts of Comfits. Therefore perhaps
it may be objeted, That there is no need of any nevr
Intrutions in a Matter that is fo obvious , but if o
ther Arts are dail improv'd, is there not ground to
believe, that this may alo be brought to farther Per
fetion? Which wili be more plainly made manifet
by means of this Treatife, wherein are containd
feveral Methods of Preerving Fruits and other par
ticular Circumtances, that are altogether new, and
quite different from the common Pratice, as alo from ,
what has been before written on this Subjet by any
Authors: Fr it may be fufpeted, That in laying
down fuch imperfet Rules and Diretions, (not tor
mention the unprofitable Repetitions usd by them,
on purpoe to augment the Bulk of their Volumes) -
they had no other Deign but to abue the Publick 3.
being fully reolv'd before hand, not to dicover the
Secrets of their Art. -

Lmonds ferve for feveral Ues; particularly, to make
Pate, Potages, Almond-milk and Pies; and green
Almonds are fometimes boil'd: All thee Things are
* prepared according to the following Method.
Almond-paste.
Take Almonds that are well caldcd and wah'd in fair
Water: Pound and moiten them with a little White of an
Egg and Orange-flowers, whipt together ; , and, as you are
working them, continue to moiten them by degrees, that
they may not turn to Oil; they cannot be pounded too much : .
The Pate thus prepar'd, is to be pread upon a large Dih, and
dried with fine Sugar, as if it were ordinary Pate, till it be
comes very pliable. This Paste may ferve to make the Bot
tom or Under-cruft for Pies, and all forts of finall Patry
works to garnih them; but 'tis

little while, before you proceed to make ue of it according to
your Deign.
The fame may alo be done after another manner, thus:
When the Almonds are ufficiently pounded and moiten'd as
before, take a Copper-Pan, uch as Confectioners ue, and put
into it a greater quantity of Sugar than of Pate ; which Sugar
is to be clarified with the White of an Egg, and boil'd till it
becomes feathered: Then put in your Pate, and with a Spa
tula work all well together. Set your Pan over the Furnace,
and keep continually tirring it as much as is poible, until the :
Pate be looen'd from the Pan. , Afterwards it mut be pread
upon a Dih, with fine Sugar underneath, and rolled up in large
Rolls, that it may lye by for fome time, before it be us'd.
may be workt feveral ways, that is to ay, fqueez'd thro'
a Syringe; and formd into divers Figures. As for the Shreds :
or Remnants that are left, when dried, you need only put
them into the Mortar, and pound them with a little Whire of
an Egg, in order to foften them, and this will ferve to make
fmall Petits Choux or other fine Ornaments for the garnihing
of the Dihes.
Almond-milk.
Almond-milk is us'd for the Intermeffes, and made thus:
Take Almonds, and having calded them in order to Blanch
ing, pound them in a Mortar, as before : Then take a little
Milk, and be careful to strain all thro a Sieve; which being
done, take four Yolks of Eggs with the Whites, beaten toge
ther, and pour ome Milk upon them, by degrees; adding alo
a little Salt and Nutmeg. In order to boil it, fer a Kettle or
Pot with Water upon the Furnace, and when it boils, put a
Dih upon the Kettle, with a lice of very good Butter. Af
terwards pour your Almond-milk into this Dih, and let it be .
continually tirr'd , till it becomes a Cream, which mut be
ferved up to Table hot without any Sugar. *
Potage of Almond-milk.
Take a Pound or two of Almonds, according to the fize of
your Dih; and ler them be calded, and pounded all at once;
moitening them with a little Water: When they are well pound

and a very little Salt : Pour this Water into the Mortar, and
ftrain all through a Sieve two or three feveral times. Then put
this Milk into a clean Pot, with a lump of Sugar and a little
piece of Cinnamon, and boil all together by degrees. To
dres the Potage, eut the crummy part of a Loaf into Slices, and
and put them in good order upon a Dih: When thee Slices
are toafted at the Fire, lay Potage of the fame Milk a
foaking, and when 'tis ready to be ferv'd up, moiten your
Sippets with it, as much as is requiite.
Some boil about two Quarts of Water in a Pot, and pur
into it the Crum of two mall Loaves, which they mingle toge
ther with the Almonds in a Mortar, and afterwards let it foak

How to dref green Almonds.
When you have green Almonds, fet a large Copper-Pan or
Skillet upon the Fire, filled with Water and Ahes: Scum off
the that rife on the top, and when this Liquor has boil'd
a great while, and you perceive by the Tate, that 'tis become
fweer and flippery, as it were a perfet Lye, throw in your Al
monds and them have three or four Walms : Then take
them out and put them into other freh Water: Thus they are
to be wah'd in four or five Waters,and afterwards a Pan is to be i
fet on the Fire,with Water almot ready to boil.Put the Almonds
into that Water,and to prevent their wimming on the top,thrut
down into the Pan a Dih ofalmot the fame breadth,yet o as to
be conveniently let into it ; by which means the Almonds will
be hinder'd from becoming black. A good Fire mut be con
tinually kept underneath, and in cafe the Water inclines to boil,
fome other cold Water is to be pour'd in by degrees to give it a
check. Thus your Almonds are to be dres'd with a moderate
Heat; and to know whether they are ufficiently calded, take
a Pin and prick an Almond quite thro: If it tick to the Pin,
'tis a fign they are not yet well calded; but if it be loofe, it
denotes that they are. Then, having taken them out, put them
again into fair Water, and afterwards into good Syrup of clari
fied Sugar. In order to ferve them up liquid, 'tis requiite that
one half of your Sugar be in a Jelly; and to keep them dry, as
foon as your Almonds are calded in the aforefaid manner, take
, them out and let them be well drain'd: Boil your Sugar till it
be greatly feathered, and fee that it be not thick, but of a fine
to the end that the Almonds which are put therein, may
appear very green. The fame thing may be done with green
Apricocks to preerve them liquid and dry.

There is not any one Particular throughout the whole Pra
tice of Cookery that affords greater Variety of Dihes, than
Eggs, which are us'd even on Fleh-days, and ferve altogether
for the Out-works of Intermees: the principal ways of dref.
fing them, are as follows viz.
Eggs with Orange-juice.
Let ome Eggs be whipt, according to the bignefs of the
Dih you would have prepard, at the fame time fqueezing in the
Juice of an Orange and taking care that none of the Kernels or
Seeds fallinto it.When they are all well beaten and eaon'd with
a little Salt, take a Stew-pan, and put a lice of Butter therein,
if it be a Fih-day, or a little Gravy on a Fleh-day: Pour in
your Eggs, and keep continually tirring them, as if it were
Cream ; left they tick to the bottom: As foon as they are rea
dy, turn them into a Plate or Dih, them if you think
fit, with fried Eggs, and let them b ferv'd up hor to Table.
Farced Eggs.

bottom of the Dih with them. Let the Sides be garnih'd with
fine Herbs and the Whites of the Eggs tuff'd with another :
Farce, giving them a Colour with a red-hor Fire-hovel. -
They may alo be ferv'd hot in a Dih, after they are ic'd
over with Sugar, and colour'd with the red-hot Fire-hovel.
At another time, they may be mix'd in a Mortar with fome
Gooeberry-jelly or Beer-juic boil'd in Sugar,and then fqueez'd .
thro a Syringe, or a Hair-fieve, to be ferv'd up dry in a green

Egg in Filets.
Prepare a Syrop of refin'd Sugar and white Wine, and when
it is above half done, beat your Eggs therein : Then taking
them up with a Skimmer, to the end that the Filets may be well
made, let them be dried at the Fire, and erv'd up with Musk
or ome other Perfume. -

Eggs after the Italian AMode.
Let a Syrup be prepar'd with Sugar and a little Water :
When it is abovehalfmade, take the Yolks of Eggs in a Silver
fpoon, one after another, and hold them in this Syrop to be
poach'd. Thus you may dres as many as you hall think fit,
continually keeping your Sugar very hor, and they may be
ferv'd up to Table garnih'd and cover'd with Pitachoes, Slices
of Lemmon-peel, and boil'd in the ret of the

As your Eggs are poaching in boiling Water, pound fome
Sorrel, and put thej of it into a Dih, with uter TWO Or
three raw Eggs, Salt and Nutmeg: Let this thick Sauce be
pour'd upon the Eggs, when ferved up to Table.

Of green Apricocks.
TH. first Fruits that preent themelves to be preerv'd, after
green Gooe berries, which do not properly belong to this
Place, are green Apricocks : To that purpoe, they are uually
taken, before their Stones begin to grow. hard, and they are
preerv'd with their Skin; as alo others pared, which appear
much more fine and clear. Both thee Ways may be perform'd
according to the following Method.
How to prepare and boil green Apricocks.
Thoe Apricocks that are deign'd to be preerv'd with their
Skin, ought firt to be well clear'd from the foft Hair, or Down
with which they are cover'd, and this may be done by the
means of a good Lye, in which they are to to be calded after
the fame manner as green Almonds. To that purpoe, let ome
Water with new Ahes be pour'd into a large and fet over
the Fire, cumming off all the Coals that rife on the top: When
this Lye has boil'd for fome time, and you perceive by the Tafte,
that it is become weet and oily, remove it from the Fire, and
having fer it by for a while, take all the clear Liquor: Then
fet it over the Fire again, and as oon as it begins to boil, put
three or four Apricocks into it, oberving whether they be well
cleans'd, by that means: If the Experiment ucceeds, the ret
may be thrown in, but care mut be taken to keep them from
boiling, by tirring them about continually with the Handle of
the Skimmer. The Apricocks being thus ufficiently calded,
mut be taken out, tos'd a little in a Cloth, and wah'd in fair
Water: Afterwards, you mut run them thro' the middle with a
Knitting-needle, and throw them asthey are o orderd, into other
freh Water: To caue them to recover their green Colour, the
Wateristo be changdagain, and they must be boil'd over a quick
Fire; taking out fome of them from time to time, and pricking
them with a Pin: If they tick to the Pin, 'tis a fign that they
are not done enough; but as foon as they flip off from it, they
mut be taken away and carefully cool'd, by steeping them in
cold Water. -

over the Fire, and adding a little Water. When the Apricocks
are all equally entire and oft,they must be put into clarified Sugar,
and boil'd, till no Scum or Froth aries any longer, which mut
be always carefully taken off. The thus left in
the Sugar, till the next Day, are to be drain'd ; whilt the Sy

that account, to be of a proportionable fize : Let the Water
boil about half an Hour ; by which means, the Apricocks will

about the Lemmon or Orange, o as it may be extended to the
kngth of feveral Fathoms: To Zeit, is to cut the Peel, from top
obottom, into mall Slips, as thin, as it can poibly be done.
The Lemmons thus order'd, are to be firt cut into Quarters,
ind then into Sticks; dividing thoe Quarters into two or three
'arts, according to their Thicknes. Afterwards, they mut be
rown into Water boiling over the Fire, and calded with their
juice and innermost Skin, which keeps them whiter, and could
tot be gotoff from the Pulp, without difficulty, unles they were
thus heated over the Fire: Care mut alo be taken to throw
iem into fair Water, as they are Turn'd, or Zefted; other
vile they would foon grow black.
When you perceive, That the Lemmon-pulp is become very

iro' the Straining-bag: Then give it feven or eight Boilings,
ind pour all into Pans. On the next Day, let the Sy

To preferve cifu.
Having chofen the bet fort of large Chenuts, let them be
fcalded in Water, and neatly peel'd with a little Knife, proper
for that paring off the two Skins, and taking care that
they do not break: Afterwards, fomeclarifiedSugar made luke
warm being pour'd upon them, in a Copper-pan, they are to be
left for a while, in order to have ten, or twelve Boilings the
fame Day: But it is not requiite, to foak them entirely in the
Sugar,or to give them a cover'd Boiling, becaue by that mens
they would be all broken into pieces. On the next Day, boil
our Sugr till it be greatly Feathered, and almot ready to be
lown, and flip in the Chenuts: This trong Boiling of the Su
gar, caues them abolurely to cast their and then it re
turns to its Pearled Quality, which is the uual Degree for Sweet
meats: The Chenutsought not to be fet over the Fire any lon
er, left they hould grow Black; but to dry them, they are to
f drain'd from their Syrup, and turn'd into Feathered Sugar :
Then having caus'd the Boiling to be cover'd, take them off from
the Fire, and fer them by for fome time: As foon as they are
cool'd a little, let the Sugar be made white by rubbing it with
the Ladle, or Skimmer againt one of the Sides of the Pan, and
pur your Chenuts into it, with a Spoon and Fork, as dextrouly
as is poible, for fear of breaking them. Afterwards, being
Hurdles, or Grates, in the fame manner as Lem

If you have any other Sweet-meats to be dried at the fame
time, fuch as Oranges,, or Lemmons, it is expedient to begin
with them; more , the latter, which ought to be ver
White; becaue the Chenuts extremely blacken the Sugar ; o

And it ought to be oberv'd, that as much Sugar is requiite as

ed like fine earthen Ware, with this convenience, that they
may be clean'd by Wahing. There is alo a thin Board, that
lyes almot at the Entrance, over-againt the Border, to ferve
for a Ground-plot for the Sweet-meats which are to be dres'd
upon it, the Ledge of the Ofier-basket, or Bord being indent

made round about the China-dihes: Seven of thee Dihes are
expres'd in the above-pecified Model, and the Order of them
may be clearly dicern'd ; but that in the middle ought to be
a little larger, and rais'd fomewhat higher than the ret. For
want of China-dihes, certain Tin-moulds of the fame hape

the Compotes may be fet upon the Clubs, and certain mall Py
ramids of Biskets, March-panes, or other Comfits may be rais'd
upon the Sides that remain empty and naked. . If it be per

Corners, they may be fill'd up with as many China-cups, into
which other fine Fruits are to be put, or only fome of the
fame, and the fame thing may be done with the other Inter
vals; garnihing the ret with leffer forts of Fruit, the thicknes
of which does not exceed the height of the China-dihes : And
in a fimple Deert, for four Perons, thee four Corners may be
taken up with little Cups of iced Waters, or other Liquors,
according to the Seaon.
One of the two eparate Figures that appear at the Bottom
