Did you know the famous writer of cookbooks Mrs Beeton is largely regarded as the first ‘domestic goddess’? ‘Mrs Beeton’, as she preferred to be called (her matronly manor only served to endorse her relentless instruction) success was largely attributable to the fact her husband was a publisher, and she actually copied most recipes from the successful cooks of the day/ Sneaky!
Much info about Mrs Beeton, and some delish recipes, I found in this new blog calle Yesterday Enchanting Today. Check it out!
Dear Geerte,
What a marvelous blog you have created! I’m a fan of the famous (infamous?) Mrs. Beeton as well – I referenced her on a FB post I created about Victorian picnics (which she is clear should have a minimum of 40 guests!).
As a fellow blogger, I would be honored if you would check out my blog http://www.discoverylaneblog.com. The blog I write is fiction but it is based in the Victorian Era and while the conversations are 100% fictional, I base the situations on research. And I will definitely be using your blog for research in the future!
If you feel my blog would be useful to your blog readers and visitors please feel free to link to it. I look forward to reading future posts!
All the best,
Tara :)
