The book: A classic of Victorian domestic life, Mrs. Beeton’s Every-Day Cookery was designed as a practical guide for the running of a proper household. This enlarged and revised edition reflects the growing sophistication of late 19th-century cuisine, offering a wide array of recipes alongside advice on household management, budgeting, and etiquette. The richly illustrated plates—particularly the elegant folding table setting—capture the aspirations of middle-class domestic culture of the period. A beautiful and evocative survival, combining utility, social history, and decorative appeal.

The author: Isabella Beeton (1836–1865) was one of the most influential domestic writers of the Victorian era. Her works, especially Book of Household Management, became foundational guides for generations of households, shaping culinary and domestic practices across Britain and beyond.
