Know Your Onions or Mrs Beeton's Hinterland

A Nineteenth Century Cookery and Household Miscellany.

Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management was and is hugely popular. First published in 1861, nearly two million copies were sold by 1868. Isabella Mayson married the publisher Samuel Beeton in 1856, and died in 1865 aged only 28.

Know Your Onions or Mrs Beeton's Hinterland contains recipes and household hints from books and magazines published from about 1820 to the 1860s; books and magazines that may have influenced Mrs Beeton. Some of the recipes and household hints are from Samuel Beeton's Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine and may well have been contributed by Mrs Beeton herself.
