The Victorian Kitchen by Jennifer Davies : Illustrated with period drawings, engravings and colour photographs of the kitchen restored for the BBC television series on which the book is based, this is an insight into a bygone age. The "upstairs/downstairs" image is of maids in starched aprons overseen by an outwardly stern cook with a heart of gold, but what was life really like "below stairs" in Victorian times? Looking behind the scenes at the vast collection of equipment used, from the dusty, smoky range, which was cleaned and coaxed into life at 6 o'clock each morning, to the gleaming coppers which were every cook's pride and joy, the book also meets Ruth Mott, the cook featured in the television series. She started work as a scullery maid in an old-style country house in 1930, when mansion kitchens still ran on Victorian lines. There are details of the Victorian culinary technique of preserving; of the five meals a day prepared by the kitchen staff - breakfast, luncheon, tea, dinner and supper; and of a collection of recipes specially adapted from Victorian cookery books. Sections on the kitchen layout, the mistress of the house, servants, kitchen fittings, Victorian values, the kitchen garden, preserving, shopping, breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, supper, beverages... and so much more. Includes authentic Victorian recipes. Beautifully illustrated with period drawings, engravings and full-colour photographs of a restored Victorian kitchen. Jennifer Davies also wrote "The Victorian Kitchen Garden" and "The Victorian Flower Garden". Softcover in VERY GOOD condition, minor signs of ownership.

woman's creation Sexual Evolution and the shaping of Society by Elizabeth Fisher "Ranging over many fields - anthropology, archaeology, biology, psychology, ethology - the author argues that women were the first inventors and civilizers during the gathering and hunting era. Only with the development of agriculture and stock-breeding, which brought the recognition that females were more necessary than males for the survival of the species, did the need for men to dominate emerge. The denial of woman's active sexuality led to the impoverishment of human sexual and creative expressions.......This book is PACKED with ideas on how the change in sexual roles has been responsible for many negative social institutions e.g. war slavery prostitution and class systems. This is a "must read" for feminists. A whopping great 484 page softcover book in VERY GOOD condition
