How to Cook The Victorian Way with Mrs Crocombe by Annie Gray, Andrew Hann
5.0
I learned that if you were lactose intolerant in Victorian times, you'd be a very hungry person.
This book made me really, really, REALLY appreciate modern food despite its caveats (*cough* GMOs, animal cruelty, excessive waste, microplastic contamination *cough*). The sheer amount of time and effort put into meals by cooks for the rich in the Victorian era every. single. day. is absolutely incredible - I have so much respect for them. While I personally would not cook/bake anything from this book, it was chockfull of information on not only Victorian cooking, but the Victorian lifestyle (including the lower classes), as well.
