Facsimile of the Original 1861 Edition

This classic English cookery book, a bestseller since 1861, offers a wealth of original Victorian and early 19th century recipes for the cost-conscious housewife - recipes to help people live, in Mrs Beeton's words, "economically, tastefully and well".

The volume includes Mrs Beeton's expert advice on menus for every occasion and for every season of the year, as well as practical guidance on household maintenance, the upbringing of children and treatment of injuries, accidents and illnesses. There is a wealth of detailed information on the qualities and preparation of a wide range of different ingredients, from basil, barberries and brill to tarragon, tripe and truffles, as well as many fascinating facts and anecdotes relating to their culinary history.

Still a fount of useful recipes and culinary good sense over a hundred years since it was first written, this book is both a delightful and informative reflection of the bygone era and an indispensable companion for today's cook.
