FORWARD
The Pocket Family Save-All must not be regarded as a mere version of the Victorian Family Save-All Book with a new Title. It is still a comprehensive guide filled with agreeable recipes for today’s appetites and budgets. Unlike other cookery books, there are no fancy photos or measurements, just delicious heirloom recipes that utilise either secondary or fresh ingredients.
In such economically austere times, it is important to look to the past for answers to ease the economic problems of the present.
The Pocket Family Save-All seeks to achieve this aim, albeit through the dinner table.
Editor, 2009
Excerpt
SOUPS
Relishable Soup without Meat
Take two carrots, two turnips, one onion, the trimming of a head of celery, cut into small slices and pieces, and fry with about half an ounce of butter. Let them be fried until they are quite dry, taking care that they do not burn.
When in this state, pour from a pint and a half to a quart of boiling water into the frying pan on them; then pour all together into a saucepan, and boil for three or four hours, adding water to keep up the quantity, as it boils away.
Capital for invalids, or as a warmer at bedtime for people with bad colds.
Green Peas Soup
If the peas are good, this will be as nice a vegetable soup as need be sent to table. Take a quart of young green Peas, and divide half a pint from them.
Put them on in boiling water; boil until tender, then pour off the water and set it by to make the soup with.
