They are so often an offense against Nature, things of elaborate artifice, inviting acts of culinary sabotage, and leading in all probability to digestive derangement." He adds, "usually it will be found that the healthfullest recipes are also the simplest; we make food an unnecessarily complicated business for much of the time, without gaining much, if anything, in epicurean pleasure."
