| Summary | "Modern Cookery for Private Families" by Eliza Acton is a comprehensive cookbook produced in the late 19th century. The book focuses on practical domestic cookery, emphasizing efficient preparation and nutrition to reduce waste and improve the health of families. It aims to serve all classes, promoting the idea that proper cooking is attainable and beneficial to everyone, not just the affluent. The opening of the book presents a preface by Eliza Acton, where she discusses the pressing need for better domestic cookery and the detrimental effects of poor food preparation on health and finances. She addresses the rampant waste of food in England and expresses her desire to elevate culinary practices for all socio-economic classes through clear, precise instructions. Acton also emphasizes her commitment to offering reliable recipes that prioritize wholesome nourishment over extravagant dishes. Additionally, she shares her anxiety about the lack of trained cooks and outlines her approach to remedying this deficiency by providing accessible knowledge and clear instructions for novice cooks.
