Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

My Summer In The Kitchen is a memoir written by Hetty Athon Morrison in 1878, recounting her experiences working in the kitchen of a wealthy family during the summer of 1877. The book provides a detailed account of the daily routines, challenges, and joys of cooking and serving meals for a large household in the late 19th century. Morrison describes the various tasks she performed, from preparing breakfast and baking bread to preserving fruits and vegetables for the winter months. She also shares her observations on the social dynamics of the household, including interactions between the family members and the staff. Throughout the book, Morrison reflects on the importance of hard work, perseverance, and the value of good food. My Summer In The Kitchen is a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a domestic worker in the late 1800s, and a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of women in that era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
