Originally authored by a 19th Century Englishwoman, this vintage cookbook contains classic Italian recipes along with interesting and entertaining references to 19th Century British and Italian societies. The recipes alone make this cookbook an invaluable addition to your recipe library, but the historical references give you an entertaining insight into life in 19th Century Europe.
Regardless of whether your interests lean toward great Italian food itself or the history behind it, both cooks and historians alike will find this cookbook a great addition to your library collection.
