The Modern Housewife or, Ménagère
Alexis Soyer
573 pages~11 hr 25 min read61 chapters$4.99
Mrs. B. teaches her friend Mrs. L. to run a household, and Alexis Soyer eavesdrops usefully: breakfasts, early luncheons, the nursery dinner, and comforts for invalids arrive as letters between the two. The modern housewife delivers a celebrity chef's system in domestic conversation. Menus with a plot. Listen in and take notes.
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.
