Senn was the most prolific British cookery writer of his time. Classically trained, Senn worked under Francatelli at the Reform Club in London. He became involved in various culinary and catering trade associations, editing various magazines and year books. In 1892 he was appointed the consulting chef to the National Training School for Cookery. He also oversaw the annual Universal Cookery & Food Association Cookery Exhibitions in London for over thirty-three years. Over his long career, he published well over one hundred titles; also editing (and significantly contributing to) the 1906 edition of Mrs Beeton's The Book of Household Management and the 1911 edition of Francatelli's The Modern Cook as well as numerous other books.
Senn also wrote three similar titles Breakfast & Supper Dishes, circa 1900, Ideal Breakfast Dishes, savouries and curries, circa 1910, and Popular Breakfast Dishes and Savouries, circa 1909.
A nice copy.
