As the chef of London's Reform Club, he modernised its kitchens, installing refrigerators and gas cookers. They became something of a showpiece, even opening for tours. In contrast, Soyer also organised soup kitchens during the Great Famine in Ireland and volunteered his services in the Crimea in 1855 to improve military catering. He was also a prolific inventor of kitchen gadgets, notably promoting the Magic Stove, used for cooking food at the table. This work, first published in 1846, is an illustrated culinary textbook - complete with plans for different types of kitchen and nearly 2,000 recipes - written primarily for grander households with a large kitchen staff, but not neglecting those with more modest budgets. Also reissued in this series are Soyer's Modern Housewife or Ménagère (1849) and his Culinary Campaign (1857).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of subscribers\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Description of the composition of this work\u003cbr\u003e Soyer's new mode of carving\u003cbr\u003e How everything should be in cooking\u003cbr\u003e Sauces\u003cbr\u003e Potages\u003cbr\u003e Poissons\u003cbr\u003e Hors d'oeuvre\u003cbr\u003e Removes\u003cbr\u003e Flancs\u003cbr\u003e Entrees\u003cbr\u003e Roasts\u003cbr\u003e Savoury dishes\u003cbr\u003e Vegetables\u003cbr\u003e Entremets\u003cbr\u003e Removes, second course\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Service pagodatique\u003cbr\u003e Diner lucullusian\u003cbr\u003e Description of the kitchen of the Reform Club\u003cbr\u003e My kitchen at home\u003cbr\u003e Receipts\u003cbr\u003e Madame Soyer.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266143867160,"sku":"9781108063340","price":60.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108063340i_f089282d-ac8a-4335-aa68-d0b5b408a70e.jpg?v=1696748476","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-gastronomic-regenerator-a-simplified-and-entirely-new-system-of-cookery-with-nearly-two-thousand-practical-receipts-suited-to-the-income-of-all-classes-paperback-9781108063340","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
