Housewifery receipts, common simple dyes, and the whole art of carving share the bill in this anonymous American manual. Cooking sits beside every other skill a household ran on, recorded plainly for daily use. A working document of antebellum domestic life, without an author's name or a wasted page. See what keeping house once required.
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.
