| Summary | "Common-Sense Papers on Cookery" by A. G. Payne is a collection of essays on cooking written in the late 19th century. The author shares practical advice and tips for home cooks, with a particular focus on making cooking more accessible and enjoyable for the average household. The work aims to empower readers—particularly women—by offering insights into preparing meals that are not only palatable but also visually appealing. The opening of the book sets the stage for a refreshing and engaging approach to cookery, as Payne critiques traditional cookbooks for their lack of practical guidance. He emphasizes the importance of mastering fundamental cooking techniques with humor and relatable anecdotes about domestic life. In particular, the first section discusses the "frying-pan" and its oft-misunderstood potential, providing detailed and practical tips for frying fish and preparing sweetbreads correctly. Through his friendly tone and light-hearted observations, the author seeks to foster both competence and creativity in the kitchen while tackling the issues of wastefulness around food preparation, aiming to improve standards of cooking at home.
