I am obsessed with historical cookbooks. This is a classic.

From the website:

Published in 1861, Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management was a
guide to all aspects of running a household in Victorian Britain.

Its 2751 entries include tips on how to deal with servants' pay and
children's health, and above all a wealth of cooking advice,
instructions and recipes. It was an immediate bestseller, running to
millions of copies within just a few years.
