Mrs Beeton's classic book of needlework. This is the complete fully
illustrated edition.
She was the 19th century's Martha Stewart, and she is responsible
for organizing the rules of domestic life into the first
easy-to-follow guide. British writer ISABELLA MARY BEETON
(1836-1865) caused a sensation in 1861 when she published her guide
to proper Victorian housekeeping, known under various unofficial
titles, including Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management.
Eminently browsable and still highly useful today, Beeton's tome is
a masterly compendium of practical information, and covers such
essential topics as: . recipes of cooking all manner of meat, fish,
vegetable, pudding, and pastry . hints on the proper arrangement of
a functional kitchen . ideas for table decorations (including the
correct way to fold napkins) . tips for carving poultry . charts on
the seasons and prices (in the 1800s, of course) of all manner of
edibles . and much more. This charming replica of the "new and
greatly enlarged" 1890 edition features all of the original
diagrams, illustrations, menus, lists, and other particulars and
minutiae that made this work so beloved in its day, and continues
to ensure its popularity today.
