In the Preface to my previous work (referred to throughout this book as Volume I.) 1 mentioned the- solicitations of my pupils as my reason for publishing it. The success which has attended the publication of that volume - the twentieth thousand having bees Issued - has induced me in again accede repeated requests for new and Extra recipes.

There is nothing in this book which is contained in Volume 1., consequently anyone using this work will require to refer to Volume 1. for standard sauces and other things given therein.

Volume I. contains nothing that is given in this book, hence I have adopted the term 'Extra Recipes' lor this work.

Regarding these Extra Recipes 1 may remark that I have made every dish given in the hook, and can therefore vouch for the accuracy of quantities, time of cooking, and other details.

All the engravings have been sketched from dishes actually prepared in my class-room.

I have embodied in this book my newest inventions in sauces, savouries, entrees, sweets, etc.

The division of the work into chapters on various branches is handy for reference, but in most chapters there will he found dishes which could with equal reason have been included in one of the other chapters. In most cases, therefore, I have added at the end of the recipes instructions for serving.

I take this opportunity to thank my old pupils and readers for their valued support, and especially for the numerous recommendations which have enabled me to carry on my work so successfully up to the present.
