A Handbook of Fish Cookery (Illustrated Edition)

by Lucy Helen Yates

Overview

This book, written in the late 19th century in England, covers how to select and cook a wide variety of fish, and how to make a number of sauces for them. It includes a large number of recipes, as well. By definition, the focus is on fish that are generally available in and around London. This is of little importance, since many of the fish covered in the book are likely to be found in many parts of the world. The recipes are sufficiently detailed to permit anyone to use them, even though at the time, stoves and ovens were fueled by wood or coal.

This edition of the book contains 10, full-color illustrations of fish that are unique to this edition of the book.

About the Author

Lucy Helen Yates (1863-c.1935) was born in Basford, near Nottingham, the daughter of a lacemaker. In about 1892 she began writing for the Girls' Own Paper and other periodicals, contributing both fiction and advice on housekeeping and cookery; at least, she began signing her articles at that time, but it seems likely that she had been working as a journalist before this.
