Queen Victoria's former chef wrote his plainest book for people earning wages, not titles. Francatelli's cookery for the working classes stretches cheap cuts, names the best food for children and invalids, and treats economy as a skill worth mastering. From palace kitchens to a laborer's stove, the craft is the same. Cook like a chef who understood both worlds.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
