The Proof of the Pudding

The Proof of the Pudding

Dear Mr Beach,

You might be wondering why there were no cooking columns forthcoming from me over the last few weeks. I had considered just seething quietly away to myself but now consider that some explanation should be made to those people who read the column.

Firstly, my humble apologies to anyone who happened to try and use the last two recipes. Typographical errors, first in ingredients (com bread recipe) and seondly the alteration of salt to suger in another recipe (tortillas) make me angry. (The correction to the first mistake was also incorrect — this was my fault as my recipes need to be in by Monday for the following weeks Salient — this did not give me time to look carefully at that Monday's published recipe.) I am prepared to continue with the column on the condition that the editor takes full responsibility for typographical errors of the sort that have appeared in my Last two columns and will refund those people who, due to such errors might waste or spoil meals. I can assure you that care and consideration in both testing recipes and checking copy submitted to Salinet will continue.

King regards,

Alfred Harris
