With a Saucepan Over the Sea

Adelaide Keen went abroad with a notebook and came home with the recipes — cocka leekie from Scotland, petite marmite from Paris, the maids of honor of Richmond — each dish tagged with the country that gave it.

With a Saucepan Over the Sea (1902) is Adelaide Keen's culinary grand tour: recipes collected across Europe and set down with the place they came from attached — (England.), (Paris.), (Germany.), (Normandy.) — so the book reads as much like a travel diary as a cookery book.

Its six chapters run from soups to ices and confections, but the more interesting way through it is by country, which is how this edition lets you browse it.
