About this book
The English Housekeeper gives advice on household affairs and practical instructions concerning the store-room, kitchen, pantry, cellar, larder, and dairy. The discussion of a washerwoman describes exposure to damp floors, washing steam, a cold drying-ground, and the oppressive heat of an ironing stove. The text urges the lady of the mansion to remember the washerwoman’s shared humanity and susceptibility to weaknesses of constitution.
The recipe for White Gravy Sauce combines knuckle of veal and gravy beef, with the quantity depending on the richness required. The instructions moisten the meat with broth or water, add vegetables and herbs, and include chopped mushrooms if convenient. The sauce is skimmed, strained, boiled to reduce it, and thickened with white roux, with further thinning allowed afterwards.
