Beschreibung

In "Marion Harland's Cookery for Beginners," Marion Harland presents a comprehensive guide that is as much a culinary manual as it is a celebration of domesticity in the late 19th century. Written in a clear and accessible style, this cookbook emphasizes simplicity and practicality, making it an invaluable resource for novice cooks. Harland's recipes reflect the era's transition towards modern cooking methods while preserving traditional flavors, offering insights into the social expectations of women during this period. The text is infused with an encouraging tone, aiming to inspire confidence and joy in the kitchen, thus situating it within the broader context of 19th-century women's literature that sought to elevate the domestic arts. Marion Harland, born Mary Harriet Kelsey, was an influential writer, best known for her contributions to literature and cookery. Her experiences as a homemaker and her keen observations of American society profoundly shaped her culinary perspective. Drawing from her own trials and successes in the kitchen, Harland sought to empower women with the skills necessary to manage their households effectively, reflecting her belief in the importance of culinary knowledge as a cornerstone of domestic life. I highly recommend "Marion Harland's Cookery for Beginners" not only to aspiring cooks but also to those interested in the evolution of American culinary practices. This work is a charming blend of historical context and practical advice, providing valuable insights that continue to resonate with contemporary audiences. Engaging and informative, it is a delightful addition to the library of any foodie or history enthusiast.

Autor

Marion Harland, also known by her pen name, was an American novelist who was prolific and bestselling in both fiction and nonfiction. Born in Amelia County, Virginia, she began writing essays at the age of 14 under numerous pen names until 1853, when she settled on Marion Harland. Her debut novel, Alone, was published in 1854 and became a "emphatic success" with a second printing the following year. She was a prolific writer of best-selling women's novels, known as "plantation fiction" at the time, as well as countless serial works, short stories, and magazine essays for fifteen years. Terhune married Presbyterian preacher Edward Payson Terhune in 1856, and they moved to Newark, New Jersey, where she spent the rest of her adult life. They had six children together; three of them died as babies. In the 1870s, shortly after the birth of her last son, Albert Payson, she released Common Sense in the Household: A Manual of Practical Housewifery, a cookbook and household guide for housewives that became a tremendous bestseller, selling more than one million copies over multiple editions.
