By writing in her practical no-nonsense manner she is able to instil confidence in anyone who follows her recipes and advice to be able to produce an almost infinite variety of meals using whatever ingredients are available at the time.If you are looking for recipes for ‘Fancy Food' then this book is not for you. But if you are interested in discovering how some of the best, wholesome, ‘stick to your ribs' meals were created, then join me in the kitchen to find out what some of the finest 18th century British cuisine has to offer. - Summary by Steve C More information: https://librivox.org/the-art-of-cookery-made-plain-and-easy-by-hannah-glasse/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

In the Mayor's Parlour by J. S. FLETCHER (1863 - 1935) Genre(s): Crime & Mystery Fiction Read by: Nicholas Clifford (1930-2019) in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 24 - Behind the Panel 00:19:01 - 25 - The Empty Room 'Rotten borough' is a term that goes back to the 18th century, and it used to mean a parliamentary constituency in which a few property owners, or sometimes a single one, could choose the local member of parliament. The three Reform Acts of 1832, 1857 and 1884 brought that system to an end and by the time this book begins, a rotten borough has taken on its more modern meaning of a constituency whos rules allow a handful of people to profit secretly from the borough's finances. In one such borough a new mayor, victor by a margin of single vote, has been working on a reform program and is found mysteriously murdered in his office -- the Mayor's Parlour. As it happens, his young nephew is visiting from London, and is determined to find the killer. It's no easy task, and the final discovery leaves him, as well as many others, surprised.( Nicholas Clifford) More information: https://librivox.org/mayors-parlour-by-j-s-fletcher/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
