Stewed albatross, rat casserole, turtle soup, breadfruit & gruel: such was the fare of the 18th-century sailor as he braved the world's oceans. During her long life, Elizabeth Cook (1741-1835) had many opportunities to hear about the voyages undertaken by her famous husband Captain James Cook. She met sailors & explorers like Sir Joseph Banks & Captain Vancouver, & read about the exploits of many others. She discovered how they survived on long sea journeys & learned about the foods they consumed in distant lands. In Mrs Cook's Book of Recipes, John Dunmore imagines how the wife of Britain's greatest mariner might have presented her repertoire of 18th-century sailors' delights. Her collection of dishes

Includes:: such delicacies as roasted goat & stewed dog, as well as favourites to welcome the mariner home: oyster loaves, jugged pigeons, fried celery & Poor Knights Pudding. & between the recipes we get to know a remarkable woman, who not only outlived her husb&, but her six children too. Stewed Albatross
- Remove most carefully the feathers, & skin the bird. Leave the carcass over night to soak in salt water, till morn, then parboil it & throw away the water. Then cut up & stew well with a little water, & when sufficiently tender serve up with a savoury sauce. A prune sauce does well as an accompaniment, as is commonly served with land fowl, but other savoury sauces can be served, with ground ginger or other spices that may be at h&, & a little sugar. When bread, or the sailors' biscuit, is available, it forms a pleasant accompaniment to the meal.

Elegantly interweaving her characters` complex inner lives in an unbroken stream of consciousness, Virginia Woolf`s ” Mrs Dalloway” continues to enthral readers with its exploration of the human experience; of time, space, madness & regret. This ” Penguin Classics” edition is edited by Stella Mc Nichol with an introduction & notes by Elaine Showalter. Past, present & future are brought together one momentous June day in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, elegant & vivacious, is preparing for a party while reminiscing about her childhood romance with Peter Walsh, & dwelling on her daughter Elizabeth`s rapidly-approaching adulthood. In another part of London, war veteran Septimus Smith is shell-shocked & on the brink of madness, slowly spiralling towards self-annihilation. Their experiences mingling, yet never quite meeting, Virginia Woolf masterfully portrays a serendipitous unity of inner lives, converging as the party reaches its glittering climax. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author & essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist & modernist, & the centre of ” The Bloomsbury Group”. This informal collective of artists & writers which included Lytton Strachey & Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 & 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from ” Mrs Dalloway” (1925) to the poetic & highly experimental novel ” The Waves” (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism & biography, including the playfully subversive ” Orlando” (1928) & ”A Room of One`s Own” (1929) a passionate feminist essay. ...
