  • About
Making up flavours for things which have no taste has resulted in this particular group of recipes. Curiously, these have arisen from the very rich and the very poor. When you are very poor, you have nothing to cook with, no ingredients save seasoning. If you are very rich, your taste runs to the flavourless delicacies, and the cook must spend a day or two working up a stock to supply the missing part. In either case one is required to make something out of nothing.

A Rich and Subtle Flavour:

Cream Stock, including accessory recipes for fish maw, bêche-de-mer, shark’s fins, spinach and cabbage in Cream Stock
