Domestic Economy and Cookery for Rich and Poor

About The Book

Maria Eliza Rundell (17451828) was a phenomenally successful cookery writer. Originally compiled for her daughters the first edition of this work was published in 1806 with improved and illustrated editions following regularly. It became one of publisher John Murray''s chief assets but after legal disputes between author and publisher over the profits Rundell transferred the work to Longman in 1821; by 1849 it had reached its 73rd edition. The 1827 edition is reissued here. The book was the first manual of household management which aimed at completeness including advice on servants shopping with economy and attention to seasonal food hygiene and nutrition for children and invalids. It was much imitated although apparently not used as a source by Mrs Beeton. It is surprisingly cosmopolitan including French German Turkish and Indian recipes and is a fascinating source for social historians on standards of living and fashions in food and entertaining.
