Praktisches Kochbuch für die gewöhnliche und feine Küche

Henriette Davidis has compiled more than just recipes in her cookbook, which has been in demand for a century and a half: She put down on paper a general great kitchen doctrine. The 'Davidis' is indisputably the German cookbook, by no means still only of historical interest, but a home book in the best sense. Professional chefs have also always used it as a rich quarry for their work today. Cooking, baking and preserving recipes are arranged in a well-thought-out system, each chapter is preceded by general rules, and an index makes it easy to find each individual recipe.
