In our last installment of My Year with Mrs. Beeton we take a look at the Christmas Pudding and try our hand at this interpid dessert! Our year comes to a close with a quick look back on the book that immersed us in 19th century domestic management.
My Year with Mrs. Beeton Part 9 – Milk, Butter, Cheese and Eggs, Oh My!

My Year with Mrs. Beeton – Part 3
Month three of my adventures with Mrs. Beeton and we are finally venturing into the kitchen. Before we are allowed to even consider trying to cook anything, however, we need to know all there is to know about being a housekeeper, what are the general duties of the Cook, and how to set up and arrange our kitchen. So this month’s adventure will get us up to speed on all we need to know before we start trying to cook anything!
