Life of Johnson.
ITE SAID. “I could write a better book n of cookery than has ever yet been written: it should be a book upon philosophical principles. Pharmacy is now made much more simple. Cookery may be made so too. A prescription which is now compounded of five ingredients, had formerly fifty in it. So in cookery, if the nature of the ingredients be well known, much fewer will do. Then as you cannot make bad meat good, T would tell what is the best butcher’s meat, the best beef, the best pieces: how to choose young fowls: the proper seasons of different vegetables; and then how to roast and boil, and compound. . . . Women can spin very well; but they cannot make, a good book of Cookery.”
