description: The Cornucopia is an exquisite annotated compote of five centuries of European and American culture seen through the eyes of the chef and the gourmet. Drawing on more than 150 sources beginning with The Forme of Curry (1890), and going right through to the 1890s and some of the most exquisite examples of culinary Victoriana, this bright, cheerful, richly good humored book tumbles out of a virtual treasury of food lore, commentary and opinion, custom and attitude, and more than 300 recipes, all guaranteed to produce fine food and drink.
