Autor

Isabella Mary Beeton, known universally as Mrs. Beeton, was an English author famous for her works on household management and cookery. She was born on March 14, 1836, in London, and her seminal work, often referred to simply as 'Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management,' has been an authoritative reference on domestic duties and cooking since its publication in 1861. Her writings extend beyond mere recipes to encompass guidance on the running of a Victorian household, hygiene, childcare, and the management of servants. The guidebook's success led to subsequent works, including 'Mrs. Beeton's Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery,' which distilled the essence of her comprehensive household management into more approachable cooking advice and recipes suitable for daily use. Beeton's literary style combined clear, direct language with meticulous instruction, ensuring that her comprehensive guidance was accessible to the growing literate population of the time. Mrs. Beeton's books have been reprinted and adapted countless times, a testament to her enduring influence on British culinary tradition and household management. Despite her passing at the young age of 28 in 1865, Isabella Beeton's legacy continues to define the genre of cookery and domestic instruction literature.
