Isabella Beeton Ordine dei libri
Isabella Mary Beeton, conosciuta come Mrs Beeton, fu l'autrice di una guida fondamentale per la casa vittoriana. La sua opera completa andava oltre le ricette e comprendeva moda, cura dei bambini e persino l'industrialismo, affermandosi come una risorsa vitale. Sebbene molte ricette fossero da lei compilate e curate piuttosto che originate, l'innovativo formato del libro per presentare le ricette, spesso accompagnate da incisioni, rivoluzionò la letteratura culinaria. Questa influente raccolta servì come fonte affidabile di informazioni per la classe media emergente, consolidando la sua eredità come figura chiave nella gestione domestica e nella cucina.

Originally published as 24 newspaper columns from 1859 to 1861, Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management was at first a guide to managing a household. Today it is a fascinating look at the past and a guide to forgotten skills that can be used today. Beeton wrote, “As with the commander of an army, or the leader of any enterprise, so is it with the mistress of a house.” Running an extravagant household was a monumental task and a responsibility not to be taken lightly. It meant supervising every employee, from the butler to the laundry-maid to the footman and the wet nurse. It meant managing the safety, happiness, comfort, and well-being of the family. Chapters include: The Housekeeper Arrangement and Economy of the Kitchen Introduction to Cooker General Directions for Making Soup Recipes: Fish Recipes: Pork and Ham Recipes: Poultry and Rabbit And much more! In addition to offering advice on a wide range of domestic topics, this abridged edition of Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management contains hundreds of original recipes. A compendium of practical information about everything from animal husbandry to child care, this Victorian classic is both fascinating and still useful. Sarah A. Chrisman, author of Victorian Secrets and This Victorian Life provides the foreword, reflecting on how she uses Mrs. Beeton’s advice on a daily basis.
