The Cape Kitchen: A description of its position, lay-out, fittings and utensils by Mary Alexander Cook describes the old kitchens of the Cape: how they were built and fitted out. Here for the first time a well-known writer and cultural historian gives fascinating accounts of old methods and utensils, many of which have not been used for years and are quite unknown to the modern housewife. From brandsolders and hearth irons to soap and candle-making the author treats each subject with the devoted precision of the true enthusiast.  Profusely illustrated with black and white photographs.
