Join ArtBites chef-instructor Maite Gomez-Rejón, who shares the history of, and then cooks from “Mrs. Beeton’s Cookery Book” (1861).
Classes
Edited by journalist and writer Isabella Beeton, the book contains more than 900 recipes, most of which are beautifully illustrated with colorful engravings. First published in 1861 as Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management, it was influential in shaping middle-class identity during the Victorian era and was the first book to present recipes in the format we commonly see today.
Following a brief discussion, the instructor will demonstrate how to make:
Claret Cup Cocktails
Salmon with Caper Sauce
Traditional English Trifle
This event will be held online via Zoom as part of The Huntington’s virtual series “Taste of Art: Women in the Collections”. The Zoom link will be included in the payment confirmation email, and the recipes demonstrated will be sent in an additional email shortly before the class begins.
A recording of the class will be available to attendees and to those unable to attend the live session until March 30, 2023.
