Description
"Far more than a cook book, here is the hearth-warming story of nineteenth-century cookery with its nostalgic picture of Grandmother's day in the kitchen: a day that began at five-thirty in the morning, never ended until late at night, and included preparing, serving and washing up after three unbelievably prodigious meals a day."--Jacket flap.
