Customer Reviews of Beeton's Book of Household Management (Southover Historic Cookery & Housekeeping Series)
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Excellent ...I wish I could give 10 stars
Review: This is an absolute gem of a book whether you are studying social history or just have an interest in lifestyles and cookery from the 19th century. It covers everything from running a household, etiquette to cookery and home medicines. (I do not recommend trying the latter as times have moved on - but make an interesting read) The pictures are superb and the recipies are a challenge but good fun to try. The household management section is a real eyeopener for historians and interested people alike. This book would make a fabulous christmas present for any 'lady/gentleman of the house' or aspiring cooks.

Review Summary: A peerless compendium of domestic advice.
Review: If you are interested in Mrs Beeton, this is the only book to buy. To read her words in the original form they were written is a revelation. She is a much wittier stylist than many people imagine. The book has beautiful llustrations of everything from patty-pans and jelly-moulds to pigs and cows, and stunning colour plates which transport you to the joys of the Victorian table. This is a much better but than the abridged Oxford classics edition, which leaves a lot out, and doesn't have plates. Oh, and the recipes are brilliant too.
