Food /or the People ; or, Lentils and other Vegetable

Cookery. By Eleanor E. Orlebar. (Sampson Low and Co.)—This is a collection of recipes for utilising lentils in various ways, and instructions for cook- ing vegetables, mostly from the vegetarian-diet point of view ; but the authoress does not omit to mention that a German authority on the subject, to whom she applied for information as to the nutritive qualities of lentils, told her he liked them beat with "strong beef- steak, carrots, onions, and turnips, all put in together."
