Therefore my advice would be to compile a book from recipes from a Variety of the Best Books published on Cookery and Heaven knows there is a great variety for you to choose from. Sewing binding for longer life, where the book block is actually sewn (smythe sewn/section sewn) with thread before binding which results in a more durable type of binding. The recipes were largely copied from the most successful cookery books of the day, the copying in several cases unacknowledged in the text.

The allure continues with Golden Leaf Printing that adds a touch of elegance, while Hand Embossing on the rounded spine lends an artistic flair. Original green cloth boards with decorative design and small gilt motifs to the front, gilt titles and vignette to the spine.

Rushing Dinner to the Table: The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine and Industrialization's Effects on Middle-Class Food and Cooking, 1852–1860". half title with advert on verso, frontis, xl, plate list, verso advt, [4] adverts printed in red and black, 1139, 12 (adverts) printed in red and black, 16 pp. I have always thought that there is no more fruitful source of family discontent than a housewife's badly-cooked dinners and untidy ways. Slight wear to spine ends and corners, a few marks to boards; a little slanting to binding, a couple of spots internally but generally clean internally. All About Cookery' (first issued under this title in 1871) is a derivative of Isabella Beeton's final work 'The Dictionary of Cookery'.

Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management; Comprising information for the Mistress, Housekeeper, Cook, Kitchen Maid, Butler etc.The edition includes advertisements for products such as "Lemco" beef extract and "Cadbury's Cocoa".

The actual instructions are headed "Mode", as "Cut up the veal, and put it with the bones and trimmings of poultry".The effort has kept the Beeton name in the public eye for over 125 years, although current editions are far removed from those published in Mrs. it has been found to contain a particular acid, a volatile oil, a brown, very fragrant extracto-resinous matter, a vegeto-mineral matter, muco-saccharine, some salts, and, in all probability, an alkaloid. The book begins with general chapters on the duties of the "mistress", the housekeeper, and the cook.
