Arrangements Quote by Eliza Acton
“The difference between good and bad cookery can scarcely be more strikingly shown than in the manner in which sauces are prepared and served. If well made…they prove that both skill and taste have been exerted in its arrangements. When coarsely or carelessly prepared…they greatly discredit the cook.”
