G., Mrs. Waters, Mrs. W. G. The Cook's Decameron A Study in Taste, Containing over Two Hundred Recipes for Italian Dishes Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cook%27s_Decameron Produced by Metra Christofferson, and David Widger "The Cook's Decameron" by Mrs. W. G. Waters is a culinary guide written during the late 19th century, intertwining elements of fiction with practical cooking instruction. The text presents itself as a narrative about the Marchesa di Sant'Andrea, a character who finds herself navigating the trials and tribulations of English dining culture while advocating for the appreciation of genuine Italian cuisine. The book offers a plethora of over two hundred Italian recipes aimed at teaching English housewives how to incorporate authentic Italian culinary techniques into their cooking, particularly to elevate everyday meals without extravagant expenses. At the start of the narrative, the Marchesa reviews a series of letters notifying her that several dinner engagements have been canceled due to the misdeeds of their cooks, revealing a humorous contrast between the culinary ambition of her social circle and the reality they face. Through this comedy of errors, the Marchesa expresses her frustration at the British culinary scene, leading to a suggestion that she teach her friends how to cook for themselves, thereby establishing a "school of cookery." This opening sets the stage for her mission to unlock the secrets of Italian cooking, while also introducing the reader to a lively cast of characters and their engaging conversations about food, society, and culture.
