It's been 150 years since legendary home-maker Mrs Beeton first published the Book Of Household Management, which told readers how to live econimically, tastefully and well'. To celebrate, this new version contains 220 classic recipes from the book - from queen of puddings to roast goose - updated for the twenty-first century cook. It offers modern advice on sourcing good food as well as helpful culinary tips.
The original domestic goddess has been given a modern make-over with loads of added techniques and updates to her original recipes. To quote the lady herself, this book will help you to live 'economically, tastefully and well'. Hear, hear!
updated to take into account modern ingredients and cooking techniques... [Mrs Beeton's] concerns for animal welfare and local seasonal food feel more relevant today than ever
Baker, a food historian, channels the spirit of the original domestic goddess with a collection of 220 recipes to mark the 150th anniversary of Beeton's Book fo Household Management. The recipes form a core repertoire of traditional British cooking, although the ideas are adapted to suit modern ingredients and audiences... but it would still make a Victorian housekeeper proud
