Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management
Description
Originally published as 24 newspaper columns from 1859 to 1861, Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management was at first a guide to managing a household. Today it is a fascinating look at the past and a guide to forgotten skills that can be used today.
Beeton wrote, “As with the commander of an army, or the leader of any enterprise, so is it with the mistress of a house.” Running an extravagant household was a monumental task and a responsibility not to be taken lightly. It meant supervising every employee, from the butler to the laundry-maid to the footman and the wet nurse. It meant managing the safety, happiness, comfort, and well-being of the family.
Chapters include: - The Housekeeper - Arrangement and Economy of the Kitchen - Introduction to Cooker - General Directions for Making Soup - Recipes: Fish - Recipes: Pork and Ham - Recipes: Poultry and Rabbit - And much more!
