THE REAL MRS BEETON: THE STORY OF ELIZA ACTON
By Sheila Hardy
Synopsis
Eliza Acton is the forgotten hero of our culinary past. One of the few Victorian ladies whose legacy has lasted well into the twenty-first century and whose recipes are still used in thousands of kitchens today. This is the story of her success, not only as the little-known mother of modern cookery, but also as a poet and a campaigner for healthy eating.
