[49] Mrs. Wilson had a mission to teach people about cookery and this meant an understanding of food, how to prepare it, store it and cook it. She founded the Queen Victoria's Cuisiniere that later became Mrs. Wilson's Cooking School in Philadelphia. She was also Instructor Domestic Science at the University of Virginia Summer School.

Each recipe is structured into a title, a list of ingredients (with quantities, either natural–as a number of eggs or vegetables, a number of slices of ham–or measured in Imperial units–ounces of salt, quarts of water. The actual instructions are headed "Mode", as "Cut up the veal, and put it with the bones and trimmings of poultry". A separate section gives the overall preparation time, and the average cost as, for example, "9d. per quart". [a] Many recipes state in separate brief sections when a recipe is "seasonable and for how many persons it is "sufficient".

All upcoming public events are going ahead as planned and you can find more information on our events blog Unlike earlier cookbook authors, such as Hannah Glasse, the book offered an "emphasis on thrift and economy". [1] It also discarded the style of previous writers who employed "daunting paragraph[s] of text with ingredients and method jumbled up together" for what is a recognisably modern "user-friendly formula listing ingredients, method, timings and even the estimated cost of each recipe". [1] [29] Plagiarism [ edit ] The book thus advocates early rising, cleanliness, frugality, good temper, and the wisdom of interviewing servants rather than relying on written references. [23]
