The unexpected success my new plan has met with for the building of
kitchens since the opening of the Reform Club, induced me a few years
ago to publish a sectional plan of it on a large scale, which I am happy
to say was very successful, and met with the approbation of all
scientific men, and of the higher classes of society, having received
instructions since that time to contrive and arrange numerous noblemen’s
and gentlemen’s kitchens, by adapting many of my new and simple
discoveries to any shaped kitchen with the greatest facilities, at a
very moderate expense; I therefore beg to present my readers with the
reduced scale of the plan, as well as the correct measurement and size
of all the apparatus. I have not the slightest hesitation in stating
that, by the simple arrangements which I am about to submit, any
kitchen, large or small, would be easily benefited and improved; it may
also be always kept clean without much labour, the work more carefully
done, and the appetite (my intimate friend) will become the keener. My
motto has always been “cleanliness is the soul of the kitchen.”
