Tempting Curry Dishes by Thomas J. Murrey
This book starts out with table of contents where recipes are listed.
Intro about history of using curry in ancient times.
Each recipe starts with a title and summary of the dish. Some do not have specific amounts of what to use.
they also show a picture in bottle form. There is no nutritional information.
Sound like fun recipes where you can use a variety of different herbs and spices, you are given the choice. Most do NOT contain a photo.
Recipes do NOT always start at the top of a new page.
Other works by the author are listed at the end.
Other works by others in the publishing company are also listed.… (más)

Breakfast Dainties by Thomas J. Murrey
TOC where recipes are listed, not in any special order.
Cookery is discussed.
This is not a typical cookbook. Each of the subjects are discussed.
For fruits there are apples, baked and bananas, telling you how to select the best fruit. recipes are mentioned in paragraph format, nothing like a formal recipe in a cookbook.
Beverages have their own chapter giving different methods for making the items.
Lot of history is mentioned, years of certain things that happened in cooking and ingredients used back then.
To make bread it asks for a pill of liquid yeast, no idea what that is. some mention of some measurements of other items needed.
Like the tips along the way: how to tell if an egg is ok to use.. Also how to tell if a potato is good to use.
So much useful fun information to learn about. To keep the nutrition in the potato, boil in skins just in water. It's also so much more easier to peel skin after it's cooked.
Resource listing of other works are included at the end. Other works by the publisher are included also.… (más)

Fifty Soups by Thomas J. Murrey
Table of contents then onto the recipes.
The recipes are not written out like we see them today. There is no ingredient listing, everything is written in words. Like how they tell you what to do to make beef stock. We have several containers we made from our turkey the other week.
Makes awesome turkey noodle soup with just a few spices and herbs.
Some real good finds in this ancient recipe book.
Other works in the cookery series are listed at the end of this book.… (más)
