Summary "English Housewifry" by Elizabeth Moxon is a comprehensive cookery manual from the mid-18th century. The book provides a wealth of information on domestic tasks, particularly focusing on cookery, with over four hundred and fifty recipes well organized into various categories. This work serves as a practical guide for mistresses of households and lower women servants, detailing recipes and techniques for preparing an array of soups, cakes, pickles, and other culinary delights, while emphasizing health and frugality. At the start of "English Housewifry," the author outlines the purpose of the book, presenting it as the result of thirty years of experience in the culinary arts. The initial chapters introduce several recipes, beginning with instructions for soups such as vermicelly soup and cucumber soup, and continuing to elaborate on specific preparation methods and garnishing techniques. Moxon clearly aims to educate her readers on the art of cooking, providing not only recipes but also insights into bill of fare production and the arrangement of dishes for presentation. Each entry is methodical, catering to both novice and experienced cooks alike, and reflects the culinary practices of her time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
