Mrs Beeton's Original Recipes

Since the publication of her original book in 1861, Mrs Beeton has continued to be a household name in Britain. The reason is very simple: her original work, 'Mrs Beeton's Book Of Household Management', is a classic that has stood the test of time like no other book, before or since. All of the material in this book has been sourced from the 1861 edition and the recipes have been tested for suitability to modern tastes and cooking techniques. The days of "household management" may be gone, but Mrs Beeton wrote her clear, concise recipes for the newly married housewife and much of the information is still relevant today, if not more so.

The charm and idiosyncratic nature of the recipes have been retained, making them a joy to read, as well as cook from. The informative, often amusing, hints, tips and anecdotes are also included both as reference for the modern cook, and as a delightful way of revisiting the past.
