Nelson and Sons : London 6.5" by 4" xv, 396pp SUMMARY America writer and activist Sarah Josepha Hale muses on the philosophy of cookery before sharing some of her favourite recipes in this early edition Early Edition,Rebound Overall Condition: Very Good This book weighs 0.5 KG when packed UK Postage: £ 3.99 US Postage: £ 15.99 EU Postage: £ 13.99 European Postage: £ 14.99 Asia Postage: £ 18.99 Worldwide Postage: £ 19.99 DESCRIPTION A interesting recipe book by American writer and activist Sarah Josepha Hale, with eight plates, collated and complete. Hale's recipes for soup, sauces, beef, poultry, fish, lamb, veal, pies, puddings, cakes, and biscuits, are sandwiched between her introduction on the philosophy of cookery, and the advice she offers on carving to the rear. As a successful and popular editor of Godey's Lady's Book, Hale was the arbiter of taste for middle-class women in matters of fashion, cooking, literature, and morality. Whilst her works reinforce stereotypical domestic gender roles, Hale was also a huge advocate of female education and was one of the first American woman novelists, and also one of the first novelists to write about slavery. In her varied life, the author also successfully campaigned to make Thanksgiving a national holiday, unifying similar celebrations in the north, and introducing the public holiday to the American South.
