= Editions 197.000, 313.000, 693.000, 1888, 1893, 1896 and 1909. "The book was aimed at a generation of middle-class women who, for the first time in history, had not learned household skills from their mothers. (..) She was one of the first cookery writers to list all the ingredients at the beginning of the recipe, so that the housewife could make sure she had everything she needed before she started. She was also more accurate about timings and temperatures than any of her predecessors. As a result her recipes are easy to follow even for those who had no experience in the kitchen". K.
