Review of New Vegetarian Dishes

BOWDICH, Mrs. NEW VEGETARIAN DISHES. With Preface by Ernest Bell. London: George Bell & Sons, 1892.
This book uses Dairy and Egg.

Many of the recipes in this book are simple and look very tasty. The kind of stuff I would make at home. Nearly all of the recipes can be made now, there are few strange hard to get a hold of ingredients with the exception of sago.

Ingredients:
Extensive use of Haricot Beans - research history of
The book begins with a description of Haricot Beans and their usefulness in cooking. They are used in many of the recipes, I would guess at first read through at least a quarter. Here in the US I haven't heard of Haricot Beans but through some research I found out that they are similar to navy beans or small white beans.

Lentils
The second part of the book goes into lentils and their benefits. Lentils are still readily available.

Sago (note to self Research history of)
Used as a thickener. Along with more typical ingreidents like tapioca, semolina or flour.

Vermicelli
Prevalent use of Vermicelli research history of and use in US cooking/English Cooking
I was surprised to see how often Vermicelli is used in this book. Its in a great number of recipes. There is no other pasta product other than semolina listed.


Rice is used but not often.

Desserts
Vienna Flour is used in the puff paste recipe.
One cake is listed.

Chapters:
The book contains the following chapters
Soups
Stews
Fritters, Etc.
Savories
Souffles
Curries
Vegetables
Sauces
Salads
Pies, Puddings, Etc.
Fruits

Interesting Recipes
Artichoke Soup (recipe I have never seen before) Research age of this in us cooking.
I am assuming in this recipe that they use artichoke hearts as they are referred to as "artichokes after peeling". Now this would be a very expensive recipe but very tasty.

A vegetarian Forcemeat recipe is listed for sausages and balls.
(research history of )

Ideal Mashed Potato's

Curries

Now that I have finished reading this book cover to cover I have decided that I probably will make some recipes even though it isn't an American cookbook.
