Summary

Mrs.

Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management has rightly earned its place as the most famous cookery book of all time. Now this classic of domestic literature appears as a fascimile of the first edition but specially enlarged to enable the wealth of recipes and its unique information on housecraft to be easily read and constantly used. There are more than 1,350 timeless recipes which offer ideas for dishes as appropriate now as when they were first published over 120 years ago. The comments, anecdotes and general information which embellish the recipes make highly entertaining reading. The book is decorated thoughout with nearly 600 original engravings, illustrating specific recipes, cooking hints and the sections on household economy.--Book jacket flap.
