Published in 1869 by the indomitable
Beecher sisters, The American Woman's Home is remarkable for both
its philosophy and its practicality. A pioneering work of scientific
kitchen planning, the book's recommendation for specific work areas,
built-in cupboards and shelves, and continuous work surfaces are
ideals that, while new at the time, are taken for granted today. The
work presupposes a servantless home and teaches the homemaker basic
skills on how to cope with such inventions as stoves and
refrigerators, as well as providing information on healthful food
and drink, care of the sick, and care of the home. While the few
recipes included are mainly medicinal, this is an important work of
social and food history. |
