"Henley's Formulas, Recipes and Processes" is a compilation of ten thousand selected household and workshop formulas, recipes, processes and money-saving methods for the practical use of manufacturers, mechanics, housekeepers and home workers. Each recipe from this book is to be regarded as a basis of experiment, to be modified to suit the particular purpose in hand, or the peculiar conditions which may affect the experimenter. Chemicals are not always of uniform relative purity and strength; heat or cold may markedly influence the result obtained, and lack of skill in the handling of utensils and instruments may sometimes cause failure. In some instances a series of formulas is given which apparently differ but slightly in their ingredients. This has been done on the principle that one or more may be chosen for the purpose in hand. Apart from the modern methods and formulas, old recipes and so-called trade secrets which have proven their value by long use are also included in this useful edition.
Cook Yourself Happy is a beautifully illustrated cookbook with over 100 delicious Danish recipes. This cookbook promotes the best of Danish cuisine, presenting a mouth-watering selection of authentic, traditional Danish recipes, which have been handed down through the generations. The concept of ‘hygge’ plays a big part in Danish cuisine. It roughly translates as ‘cosiness’ and refers to activities such as sitting by the fire on a cold night, family and friends eating together, reading a good book - things that improve your quality of life. This book is firmly embedded in this concept – the recipes and ingredients that Caroline uses are drawn from classic Danish origins and influences, and her recipes are designed to improve your sense of wellbeing and to be shared with friends and family. A wealth of recipes covers every meal and occasion – whether a light lunch of Warm Smoked Salmon with Pickled Cucumber, the heartier national dish of Stegt Flaesk (fried pork belly) or Pheasant Ragout, a delightful dessert of Baked Apples with Marzipan and Raisins, the most traditional of Danish pastries, or a wonderful Hot Chocolate with Orange Syrup, Cook Yourself Happy is filled with enriching food that your friends and family will adore. Food, family and Denmark are Caroline’s first loves, and this is echoed in the book with photographs of Caroline cooking at home, interspersed with gorgeous photographs of her family home in Denmark. Drawing on traditional age-old family recipes, this beautifully illustrated cookbook focuses on the most delicious and nourishing traditional Danish recipes that will boost your sense of wellbeing both inside and out.
