Summary
Sending him the recipe for cheese wafers (not included in this collection); emphasizing that cooks should "follow recipes correctly and religiously"; noting that one should not substitute "mediocre or cheap materials for the best ones, and only the best should be used in honest cooking"; commenting on the difference between "what is good cheese and what even rats won't eat," and adding that "one of the latter is what is bought in supermarkets"; stressing that cheese must be "unprocessed natural"; quoting Edmund Burke: "expense, and great expense, may be an essential part of true economy."
