Miss Parloa's new cook book and marketing guide (1880)

《造洋飯書》的版本身世與文化效應 西法食譜

The Oriental Cook Book: A Guide to Marketing and Cooking: in English and Chinese. Second Edition. Large 8vo., 288 pp. Shanghai: Kelly & Walsh, Ld. 1898.
We learn from the publishers' preface that this invaluable work has been out of print for nearly two years, and Messrs. Kelly and Walsh, Ld., will undoubtedly earn the gratitude of hundreds of housewives by sending out a second edition of it. It comes in a handsome dress of yellow and black, and is very well and clearly printed. The recipes it contains have stood the test of years, and if any Chinese cook cannot understand them, it is not the falt of the translator, but of the cook's ignorance. No lady who keeps house in China can afford to be without this book, which has been a guide, philosopher, and friend to hundreds, and will continue its services to thousands more.

The Oriental Cook Book and Guide to Marketing and Cooking, in English and Chinese. Second Edition, Large octavo, 288 pages. Kelly and Walsh, Ltd., Shanghai, 1898.
There was quite a demand for this book in its first edition, and we have no doubt there will be an increasing demand for it in its present improved appearance. It is such a receipt book as any housewife might be glad of, even if she had no occasion to use the Chinese. But in China it will come as a special boon to many a lady who ponders over some nice dish which she would like to tell her cook to make, but despairs of ever being able to tell him about the ingredients, proportions, etc. Here is everything thought out, translated and arranged, with valuable index, and the good wife has only to look up the desired information and point it out to her Chinese cook, and behold, it is done - provided the cook can read and has the requisite ability.

A useful little book entitled "Preston's Complete English and Chinese Cook Book" is published by the China Printing Company. It should prove of no small assistance to all households where good plain cooking is aimed at, with the maximum of confidence in the prospects of the Chinese cook conforming with European ideas of cleanliness. The recipes are numerous and varied, lucidly written and catering for "moderate" purses. They are published in English and Chinese. not the least attractive feature in the small book, however, is the salutary advice to the native cook with which it is prefaced. The "rules for cleanliness" display a very thorough intuition into the ingenuity of the Chinese in misusing kitchen articles and in doing what they ought not to do. The book is certainly to be recommended both to those who occasionally visit their kitchens and to the cooks who are permanently there. It can be obtained for $1.50.


The Anglo-Chinese Cook Book, compiled and edited by Mrs. R. Calder-Marshall and Mrs. P. L. Bryant (Shanghai: Printed at the Commercial Press, Ltd., 1916). English and Chinese Illustrated. Vol. 1 - English.  英華烹飪學全書 1916

Preface
While the question of food and its preparation is the most vital and important one in the home, it is perhaps the most difficult of all the material questions that present themselves to the housekeepers in China, owing principally to the inability of the majority to speak the language of the country, and to make their orders intelligible to the cook. To meet this difficulty, and at the same time with the hope of being able from its sale to aid the war fund, Mrs. Calder-Marshall originally planned to publish a smaller work, giving a limited number of recipes taken from authoritative sources, and to have it translated into Chinese. It soon became apparent to her, however, that for such a book to have a real value, a more comprehensive work, one that should cover as nearly as possible all the phases of cooking, would be necessary. The scope of the work, therefore, was enlarged until it now includes more than one thousand recipes. Many tried and approved recipes have been furnished by ladies in Shanghai and elsewhere, the largest contribution of this kind, and one that deserves special mention is that of Mrs. J. B. Fearn, M.D., who has prepared the entire chapter relating to sweets and candies, and has sent other valuable recipes as well. The editors and compilers have also made use of The Century Cook Book, Mrs. Beeton's Cook Book and The Boston Cooking School Magazine, all well known authorities on culinary matters.

Owing to unexpected delays in printing the English and Chinese cookery receipt books edited by Mrs. Calder Marshall, which were to have been ready early this month, are still kept back. The English copy should be ready this week, but the Chinese volume cannot appear for a little longer. The least possible delay will be allowed in issuing these useful works by which both housekeepers and war funds stand to benefit.
