Customer comments on this selection.
 Its here since 1861!!!
The original edition of this book was owned by my grandmother and when I saw it here at Amazon.com I could no resist the temptation of owning it. True to its name this book is no only a cookbook but a household management manual.
The book describes in minute detail the role each household member must play for everything to work as it should. Chapters include;
The mistress
The housekeeper
Arrangement and economy of the kitchen
Domestic servants
Rearing of children and diseases of infancy and childhood
The doctor
Legal memoranda
Of course, the brunt of the book (pages 117 to 905)is composed of recipes of every kind from making preserves to soups, game, puddings, sweet dishes, beverages, breads, cakes, biscuits.
This book is an excellent companion from beginners to experts. It really captures the way people cooked during the 1860s.
