Riassunto

An easy-to-use guide to food preparation, preparing practical recipes and good eating, this concise book draws heavily on the well-known reference "Mrs Beeton's Book of Cookery and Household Management". It also contains useful advice on cooking ahead, freezing and microwave cooking. Mrs Beeton's cookbook set out to instruct those new to cooking, and to encourage and give confidence to the less experienced cook, while inspiring those familiar with the basic principles of cooking and entertaining. Special techniques are clearly explained, and colour photographs of finished dishes offer helpful serving ideas. Important aspects of household management such as safety and first aid are also included, as well as information on social customs relating to dining and entertaining.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Isabella Mary Beeton was born in London is 1836, where she grew up in a household of twenty-one children. It took Isabella four years to compile her masterwork, publishing Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management in 1861. It contains an enormous amount of information to help people live, in Isabella Beeton's own words, 'economically, tastefully and well'. Her style, imparting information as clearly and simply as possible, was hugely influential. The book sold 60,000 copies in its first year, but Isabella Beeton died four years later, in 1865, aged just twenty-eight. The enduring popularity of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management is testament to the quality of her advice.
