Notes
"Italian Recipes for Food Reformers" translated and arranged by Maria Gironci was published by George Bell and Sons in London, England in 1905. The book contains about 2/3 of the recipes that were in the author's first book, "Recipes of Italian Cookery." It is presented as a vegetarian cookbook. The preface written by "E.B." states: "To provide a cookery-book which should prove satisfactory to the whole of the increasing class of food reformers, who differ so largely amongst themselves as to the amount of reform needed, would be a quite impossible task. While some would like to reform away most things which are habitually eaten nowadays and to return to the wholesome and invigorating diet of the arboreal ancestors from which we inherit our canine teeth (wrongly so called), there are many others who are content to advocate only the discontinuance of the grosser and more barbarous forms of food, consisting of the bodies of creatures who have once had life, while they retain to their use such animal products as milk, eggs, butter and cheese.. It is to the later class that this book will mainly appeal, but the flesh-eater may also use it with advantage if he likes, without running a greater risk than that, finding how palatable and nutritious some vegetarian dishes can be, he may, in his turn, be lead to eschew his barbarous ways and to join the ranks of the food reformers. The greater carefulness displayed in foreign cookery, combined wit the practice so often enjoined in the following pages of using a slow fire in contradistinction to the frequent, if not usual, practice in English households of preparing the food in the least possible time over a scorching furnace, are cardinal points which account for much of the superiority of foreign cookery; while the greater appreciate of the mixture of flavours and the more frequent use of maccaroni, cheese,milk, nuts and other vegetable substances, seem especially to commend the Italian methods to the vegetarian. It maybe mentioned here that this book has arisen from one written by the author some years agao entitled "Italian Recipes." This was addressed to the larger class of ominivorous feeders, and passed through two editions at a much higher price than the present volume. It was then allowed to lie out of print until the present writer, recognizing in it some excellent recipes, suggested that, with the omission of the items containing flesh food in any form and the addition of fresh vegetarian recipes, it might make a useful book for the special class to whom it now appeals. Thus, while in the idea and in some of the matter the book may claim to be novel, about two-thirds of the contents may take the credit of having already successfully passed through the ordeal of two editions.
