Summary: "The Still-Room" by Mrs. Charles Roundell and Harry Roberts is a culinary guide written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive handbook for housewifery, focusing on the art of preparing food, preserving meats, pickling, and creating various homemade beverages. The book emphasizes the significance of domestic skills and the craft of cooking, encouraging women to embrace their roles as homemakers with pride and scientific zeal. The opening of "The Still-Room" presents a passionate plea for the recognition of housewifery as a vital and noble occupation, challenging contemporary attitudes that belittle homemaking. It reflects on the shift in societal norms, where the art of cooking has become overshadowed by a reliance on commercial food providers. The author argues for a return to traditional practices, emphasizing that women can exhibit intelligence and creativity in managing their households, particularly in cooking and preserving food. The section sets the tone for the practical recipes and techniques that follow, which include instructions on pickling, brewing, and preserving various foods, all underscoring the importance of home-cooked meals and self-sufficiency.
