This is a post from Indy - who posted it to the comments section of the first post ever on this blog - God bless her :)
I've just been flicking through 'Mrs. Beeton's Book Of Household Management' from 1859. I've not even got past the Analytical index. For example, as listed under 'S':
Shalot, or eschalot.. .p410
Sheep, the general observations.. ..p678
Poets on the.. ..p730
Sheep's brains, en matelote.. ..p740
Shepherds and their flocks.. ..p710
sherry.. ..p1416
Next week, 'General observations on Beverages' and a recipe for 'Everton Toffee' !
Sounds alright by me - I think that we should all be forced to cook 'Everton Toffee 'at least once a week. Keep up the good work Indianna.
