I have always thought that there is no more fruitful source of family discontent than badly cooked dinners and untidy ways.–Mrs. Isabella Beeton

Isabella Beeton was a Victorian-era writer who died prematurely at 28 years of age, but not before having four children and writing an 1112-page essential guide for women on how to run a Victorian household with 900 recipes and advice on fashion, industrialism, childcare, religion and how to manage servants.
