Our 1910s / First World War Cookbook | A Second Dudley Book of Recipes (1914)

★ About: ‘The Recipes contained in this volume are nothing very new or elaborate – merely what I think to be a useful collection to have at hand, as a sort of Memorandum Book for the mistress of a household when ordering meals, and when the inevitable question arises, “What on earth shall I order for luncheon and dinner to-day?” Many of the Recipes are very homely and simple, and, I think, may be useful in small households – showing how cold meat, etc., may be used up and turned into appetising dishes, as done in France, and therefore much waste saved. The Recipes are interspersed with a selection of quotations, which I hope may be interesting’, states Georgina, the Countess of Dudley in the Preface of her cookbook, A Second Dudley Book of Recipes that was published in 1914. The Countess was a fascinating woman. Born into a noble Scottish family she married the 1st Earl of Dudley who was many years her senior and begrudgingly suffered many years of existence as a ‘trophy wife’. It was upon his death that Georgina was able to flourish; beyond the expensive dresses, jewels and pretty face was an exceptional estate manager, devoted mother, humanitarian and tireless workhorse of a woman who, somehow, at the age of 68 and working for 9 hours, 7 days a week at her local convalescent hospital, managed to write this brilliant cookbook. While the third oldest cookbook in our little collection it is by far the most solid and well-made; in fact, you would struggle to find a modern book that is put together as well as this one – more than 107 years old and in almost perfect nick. And don’t even get us started on the recipes; every one we have tried so far has been scrumptious. The recipes are divided into the following chapters/sections: • Soups • Fish Dishes • Hot Poultry and Game Dishes • Hot Meat Dishes • Chaud-Froids and Other Cold Dishes • Savouries • Vegetables and Salads • Sauces • Sweet Dishes and Puddings • Savoury Rice and Macaroni Dishes • Different Ways of Cooking Venison • Egg and Breakfast Dishes • Tea Cakes, Etc. • Housekeeper Etc. and Miscellaneous • Beverages Coming up… Fried Chicken Pembroke | First World War Recipe Turkish Coffee | First World War Recipe Mystery Dessert (we’re still thinking about it) | First World War Recipe ★ More on our little ‘library’: https://www.handeddown.co.uk/library __________________________________________ ★ Our Website: handeddown.co.uk ★ Instagram: @handeddown.uk __________________________________________ ♪ Music: Dreamland by Aakash Gandhi
