Wishing for Wow-Wow Sauce? This newly released edition of The Cook's Oracle is an exact replica of Dr. Kitchiner's original book first published in 1829. A bestseller in its day, Kitchiner's fundamentals of 19th-century cookery cover the gamut from meat \u0026amp; fish to gravies \u0026amp; sauces to puddings \u0026amp; pies, including many of his favorite \"receipts.\" Interestingly enough, he toured with a moveable taste cabinet; a folding cupboard stocked his unique mustards and sauces. And, unlike most food writers of the era, he whipped up the recipes himself, carried out the dreaded after-dinner clean up, and did all his own housework  A marvelous culinary artifact of 19th-century cookery, this book is certain to delight both social historians and food-lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA household name during the 19th-century, WILLIAM KITCHINER, M.D. (1775-1827) was an optician, inventor of telescopes, amateur musician and exceptional cook.
