1851 Modern Domestic Cookery

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition thus, being the first edition of this work based off Rundell's 'A New System of Domestic Cookery'.

Illustrated with a frontispiece, one plate, and in-text engravings.

'Domestic Cookery' was a hugely successful cookery work of the nineteenth century, being oft-reprinted, and sometimes plagiarized. 

This expansion upon Rundell's 'A New System of Domestic Cookery' includes all contemporary improvements of the culinary arts since the work was first published in 1806.

In 1819 Rundell asked Murray to stop publishing 'Domestic Cookery', as she was unhappy with the declining quality. After a court case Murray bought the rights for this work.

This edition also includes the contributions by Emma Roberts, who included many Anglo-Indian recipes to the publication. 

Collated, complete. Collated from Jisc from a copy held at the Wellcome Library.

Thirty-two pages of adverts to the rear.
