Mrs Beeton rules

My really falling to bits one is the Mrs Beeton I got when we got married - nearly 37 years ago. It has some excruciating bits about hiring staff and 'turning out' all your rooms once a week etc. However, for basics it's ok

I have a copy of her book and I swear by it, some of the food is a bit dated but with a little bit of imagination you can bring them right up to date. I love the preserving bits in there and of course the cocktail section my one has too! Following in a line of tradition as my mum had one, so did my nan and her mum too.
