|
ISABELLA BEETON |
|
Isabella Beeton, who born in London in 1836, |
 |
|
is the most famous British woman cookery writer. |
|
|
She was well educated and finished education |
|
|
in Heidelberg, she learnt French and German. |
|
|
In 1856 she married Sam Beeton, an enterprising young |
|
publisher, and the following year contributing a column on various |
|
household matters to his 'The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine'. |
|
was the first of the cheap women's magazines. It pioneered the problem |
|
page and medical columns, and introduced dress-making patterns France |
|
to British readers. |
|
she was only 23 she edited 'Beeton's Book of Household Management'. |
|
This was an immense work, containing more 3,000 recipes as well as advice |
|
on instructing servants, nursing, legal matters, good manners and bringing |
|
babies. Many of the recipes contributed by the readers of 'The English |
|
Woman's Domestic Magazine' and others were simply taken previous |
|
cookery writers. |
|
The chapters on specialist topics were anonymously by a doctor, a lawyer |
|
and experts. But even Mrs Beeton herself was not a creative |
|
cook, the editing work that she did on the book is a great achievement for |
|
so young. She died the age of 28 after the birth of her fourth son. |
