Scottish writer Christian Isobel Johnstone (1781 1857) enjoyed a
prolific career as a journalist and novelist. She established
several periodicals with her second husband, and was the only
female journalist to edit a major periodical until the 1860s.
Written under the pseudonym Margaret Dods (the name of the landlady
of the Cleikum Inn, in Scott's St Ronan's Well), the first edition
of this housekeeping guide, published in 1826, contains not only
recipes and cooking advice but also instructions for food
preservation, as well as other useful domestic hints, and two
pieces, probably by Scott himself, about the inauguration and the
final meeting of the Cleikum Club. This second edition was
published in 1827 and contains additions including a compendium of
French cookery, an enhanced section on confectionery and a further
200 recipes. Several further editions were printed subsequently,
providing Johnstone with a steady income for the rest of her life.
