From the celebrated cook and wit William Kitchiner, a genial guide to eating, resting, and living well enough to live long. Full of practical rules, shrewd observation, and dry humor, it treats good health as a pleasure to be cultivated rather than a duty to be endured. He writes about sleep, digestion, and moderation with a twinkle in his eye. A charming reminder that taking care of yourself was never meant to be grim.
