Choice Cookery
Choice Cookery, published by Harper in 1889, collects articles Catherine Owen had written for Harper's Bazar. Her readers were hostesses who wanted to give small dinners with the polish of a caterer without paying one or hiring an extra cook. Owen explains the fine points of French-influenced cooking in detail: white, brown and cold sauces, soups, fish entrées and oysters, croquettes, cutlets and rissoles, patties, chaudfroids, galantines and cold game pies, garnishes and vegetables, then jellies, creams, iced puddings, ices, cakes and sweet sauces, with salads and cheese dishes at the end. She writes as an experienced teacher, practical and occasionally dry. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
