Mrs. Beeton's Victorian Cookbook

Based on her first edition completed in 1861 when she was 25 years old (just three years before her death), this book contains nearly 400 recipes chosen from Mrs. Beeton's chapters on soups, fish, sauces, meat, poultry, game, vegetables, puddings and sweet dishes, preserves, biscuits and cakes, and beverages, many accompanied by the original drawings. It is illustrated throughout with 100 new color photographs of dishes prepared to Mrs. Beeton's instructions by some of the top chefs in England today. Also included are a new introduction and biography, as well as a table of American measurements. Read more
