The English Housewife
1986
Overview
Markham reveals the \"pretty and curious secrets\" of preparing everything from simple foods to such elaborate meals as a \"humble feast\" - an undertaking which entails preparing \"no less than two and thirty dishes, which is as much as can stand on one table.\" He instructs the housewife on brewing beer and caring for wine, growing flax and hemp for thread, and spinning and dyeing. As a housewife was also responsible for the health and \"soundness of body\" of her family, he includes advice on the prevention of everything from the plague to baldness and bad breath.
