Isabella Beeton was born in London in 1835 into a lower middle class family and was one of 21 children. At 20, the elegant, auburn-haired Isabella married the charismatic publisher Sam Beeton. He was obviously a man before his time, and he believed in independence for women. From the start, Isabella worked on the magazines, as a complier, editor, journalist and translator. The riggours of running a publishing house and a home, made Isabella wonder why no-one had ever written a good book for brides. In time, the numerous recipes sent in from readers and tested in Isabella's kitchen - with the unique attribution of having ingredients placed before the recipe along with the number of servings and the cost - resulted in over one thousand pages that included 900 recipes. Combined with observations on everything from the servant's wages to the rearing and manegement of children, this tome went on to become Beeton's Book of Household Management, first published in a single volume form in 1861. It was reprinted many times in a variety of formats and under different titles, including in 1893, this revised, enlarged edition entitled Mrs Beeton's Everyday Cookery and Housekeeping Book.
An exciting, irrepressible new voice in food, James Ramsden is also one of a generation of sophisticated 20- and 30-somethings, many of whom, despite being bang in step with current trends, are hesitant to cook anything more demanding than pasta. In this, James's first book, the influential food blogger and pop-up supper club host aims to get his peers out of their culinary rut and experimenting with recipes that are delicious, unexpected and simple. Speedy after-work suppers such as Lamb Neck Fillets with Harissa and Chickpea Salad, food for friends like Grilled Aubergine with Tahini and Pomegranate and delicious slow-cooked dishes such as Pork Belly with Cider and Lentils are all fuss-free and achievable for cooks of any ambition. Nothing here is frightening, laborious, or expensive but everything is different enough to introduce some excitement into the kitchen. Because James believes that cooking is most enjoyable when imbued with a sense of adventure and exploration. Not the crossing continents or eating insects kind, but the sort of small change - the use of an unusual spice in a dish, a trip to the butchers for an interesting cut of meat or the conjuring of something remarkable from the contents of the cornershop - that will help hoist your food beyond the everyday. In this book James invites you to join him on his culinary adventure with fast feasts, swanky suppers, lazy lunches and late-night munchies that will make every meal a mini-voyage of discovery.
