English Housewifry / Exemplified in above Four Hundred and Fifty Receipts Giving Directions for most Parts of Cookery

A practical household manual offering over four hundred detailed receipts for soups, roasts, made-dishes, cakes, creams, pastes, jellies, pickles and homemade wines, with instructions emphasizing economy and health. It includes guidance for arranging courses and plate presentation, monthly bills of fare, and an alphabetical index to aid use. Many entries give step-by-step preparation techniques, thickeners, garnishes and preservation methods, and an appendix gathers about sixty additional receipts contributed by experienced local housekeepers. Drawn from long practice, the text addresses both mistresses and domestic servants and stresses substantive, frugal, and health-conscious household cookery.
