About this ebook
When the War was still raging in Europe, and black-out came down soon after sunset, there was really very little to talk about that gave one real satisfaction but Food and especially "What I Should Like to Eat Now". In the middle of an entrancing conversation with an old friend about what we had most enjoyed for dinner six years ago, the first faint prenatal stirrings of this book took place. The talk branched off towards breakfast, and the right way to cook bacon, "My difficulty," said Aubrey, "is that there are no cookery books or none that I can find that tell you how to boil eggs, how to make tea and coffee, how to boil potatoes, and so on," "Surely," I said, "everybody knows those simple things by nature."

Don't pour hot fat into a gkss jar, it will break it. Use stone jars for dapping., May I also say here what I would say to you if we were cooking together in your kitchen or mine, although you may think it a little dictatorial, Get all your materials ready before you begin to cook lay out your chopping board, set your knives and forks beside ita get out your measuring spoon and cup, decide upon your recipe and then measure out all your....."
