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! In addition to offering advice on
a wide range of domestic topics, this abridged edition of Mrs.
Beeton's Book of Household Management contains hundreds of original
recipes. A compendium of practical information about everything
from animal husbandry to child care, this Victorian classic is both
fascinating and still useful. Sarah A. Chrisman, author of
Victorian Secrets and This Victorian Life provides the foreword,
reflecting on how she uses Mrs. Beeton's advice on a daily basis.
