Although this book is primarily a cookery book, it can also be read as a footnote to Court history. Few people will have the courage to follow Queen Victoria’s advice and treat a sore throat with a gargle made of cayenne pepper; many, on the other hand, will be glad of such practical recipes as ‘King George V’s mutton cutlets.’ The Court has influenced the country’s cooking throughout the centuries. Here is a chance for you to experience this influence in your own home.
