The Modern Housewife or Menagere: Comprising Nearly One Thousand Receipts for the Economic and Judicious Preparation of Every Meal of the Day - Cambridge Library Collection - British and Irish History, 19th Century
Alexis Soyer
Alexis Soyer (1810–58) was perhaps the first celebrity chef. A flamboyant, larger-than-life figure, he nonetheless took his profession very seriously. This work, first published in 1849, conceived as a dialogue between two housewives, offers rich insights into household management of the time. It contains hundreds of recipes and tips.
