QR code
"For Luncheon and Supper Guests" by Alice Bradley is a collection of recipes and menus aimed at modern hostesses looking to prepare meals for various social occasions. Written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1920s, the book presents practical guidelines for planning meals more efficiently without overwhelming the cook or the guests. It emphasizes simplicity in meal preparation suitable for company luncheons, Sunday night suppers, and other gatherings, while
also appealing to those running tea rooms and lunch spots. The book is organized around ten complete menus, each accompanied by a detailed list of recipes and necessary preliminary preparations. From fruit cups and hot ham sandwiches to elegant desserts like cocoa ice cream and orange mousse, the recipes are designed to cater to gatherings of eight and provide a well-rounded dining experience that balances dishes from appetizers to desserts. The inclusion of instructions for advanced preparation and cooking methods like using a chafing dish contributes to an accessible approach for hostesses who wish to impress their guests with delicious, home-cooked meals while minimizing last-minute stress.
