Description: A food historian and a recipe tester revisit old-fashioned cooking and provide recipes and techniques for making food the inconvenient and difficult-but highly rewarding-way, from pickles to pastry dough.
Notes: "An introduction to the antiquated kitchen, or cookery made difficult and  inconvenient being foremost a pleasant discourse on the nature and execution  of arcane and dangerous culinary practices especially designed for patient,  discerning individuals who appreciate superior homemade food and those who will not balk at devoting many laborious hours to the kitchen."
