“The object of this Year Book is to keep the gastronomic world informed on the epicurean events of the year, and to chronicle the progress of the art which should “satisfy the exquisite taste of Alcibiades, without wounding the proud austerity of Lycurgus.”
An interesting and very attractively produced little book that is packed full of all the information a gentleman would require to get through the coming year such as which date in January is best to eat larks; the date of racing at Goodwood, and; when in September to expect the arrival of widgeons and teal.
For those who didn’t already know “Lamb and Gooseberry Pie Day” is of course 11th April.
