FRANCATELLI (C. E.)—
ROYAL CONFECTIONER: English and Foreign. A Practical Treatise. With Coloured Illustrations. 3rd Edition. Post 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
“Under the above abbreviated designation we are announcing a work, the mere title-page of which is a catalogue of culinary mysteries, and the programme of an exhibition of subtle and ambrosial art. ‘The Royal English and Foreign Confectioner,’ as this title-page avers, is a practical treatise on the art of confectionery in all its branches, comprising ornamental confectionery artistically developed; different methods of preserving fruit, fruit pulps, and juices in bottles, the preparation of jams and jellies, fruit and other syrups, summer beverages, and a great variety of national drinks; with directions for making dessert cakes, plain and fancy bread, candies, bonbons, comfits, spirituous essences, and cordials; also, the art of ice-making, and the arrangement and general economy of fashionable desserts. By Charles Elmé Francatelli, pupil to the celebrated Carême, and late maître d’hotel to Her Majesty the Queen, author of ‘The Modern Cook,’ ‘The Cook’s Guide,’ and ‘Cookery for the Working Classes.’ With numerous illustrations in chromo-lithography. We shall not affect to pass judgment on the vast variety of recipes which carry out the abundant promise of Francatelli’s title-page. It is enough to absolve us from such endless labour to mention that the contents of the chapters occupy 15 pages, and that the index in which the references are printed very closely, comprises upwards of 20 pages, and includes all imaginable products of the confectionery art.... We salute Francatelli respectfully in dismissing his book; only adding that his recipe for beignets of pink-apples, on page 252, is worth all the money which the purchaser will pay for this very opportune volume.”—Times.
