    This looks like a good cookbook to have in the house, seeing all the chapters in the description! Beautifully explained! I can't wait to see your next video~🙂

      Thank you, my dear 🥰! When I’m writing out what I want to say in these book videos, I can overdo it a bit so I have to cut a lot out (otherwise everyone would fall asleep!) so I do hope that the balance of background to book narrative is ok. It really is a very handy little book to have! Both this one and our 1930s cookbook are absolute goldmines of information - while a lot of it is very outdated, they really set you up for running a house, from how to shop to how to cook and then... well, in the case of this book, how to make toothpaste and de-rust steel! As soon as we get a chance we’re going to see how many of those napkin folds we can accomplish 🧐 (although I’m completely hopeless at origami so we’ll have to see, lol)!

    You're so lucky having so many old cookbooks! ❤️Even though it may be a fragile book, it definitely seems to have lots of great recipes! 😱

      We really are very lucky to have found this one, as small and fragile as it is, it has taught us so much! One day we’re going to find out how to properly restore it to at least strengthen the spine, but not until we’ve done enough reading and practiced. Wouldn’t want to bodge the job, it’s far too precious! ♥️

    As fragile as it is, it's still a very beautiful book and you're so lucky to have something this special and rare as part of your collection. Looking forward to the next video. No pressure ;) xx

      Very lucky indeed 🥰! We do love our books. The amount of stuff we’ve learnt from them is amazing. I’m actually going to have a go at one of the handy tips at the back of this one soon for how to ‘Remove Paint Stains from Glass Windows’ so we’ll see how this goes 😉.

    The curry recipe sounds as it would have been done in the time. Curry would have been a relatively new spice and the use of it, how to cook with it and get the best out of the spice, unknown to the average cook. Trial and error was the name of the game. Why don't you try cooking the Curry and tell us your thoughts on the outcome? Thank you for sharing and have a fantastic week.

      Absolutely - that sounds like a brilliant idea to me! It would be very interesting to see what these Victorians’ first attempt at this cuisine would’ve been like. We’ll start with the recipe for Madras Curry Powder so that we have it to hand and then choose one of the recipes in this section that uses it. If all goes well, we’ll have to do a video for it but either way, I’m going to let you know how it goes 😉. Hope you had a lovely week, Tracie - you take care!
