Much better than The Truest Pleasure. Young girl joined American troops, posing as a boy, in American Revolution in order to survive. Her husband served as chaplain to British troops.
Good for its intended purpose as a master's level text book. I will likely keep it and refer to it as needed.
Sacher-torte, a chocolate cake to die for, hails from Vienna. IT has two glorious tiers of rich, intensely flavored chocolate sponge, sandwiched together with apricot jam, and swathed in a glossy chocolate coating. The cake was invented in 1832 by Franz Sacher, a sixteen-year-old apprentice working in the kitchens of Prince Metternich, the legendary Austrian diplomat. When Metternich ordered a grand dessert for distinguished guests and the head chef was taken ill, Sacher stepped in to create a splendid chocolate cake. To this day, Sachertorte continues to be baked to the original, well-guarded recipe. In 1876, Sacher's son, Eduard, opened the Hotel Sacher in Vienna, and an authentic Sacher-torte must carry the official hotel seal on the face of the cake, made in chocolate. Cakes to carry away should be packed in a gold-cornered wooden box, bearing the registered trademark "Hotel Sacher Wien" on the lid, and have a wood engraving of the Hotel Sacher Wien inside the cover. The box should then be gift-wrapped in Bordeaux-colored paper and decorated with a Biedermeier design.
