Book Review: Savory Suppers and Fashionable Feasts
To my woe, I didn’t find this title till after our manuscript was submitted, but I’d still highly recommend Savory Suppers and Fashionable Feasts to anyone interested in learning more about Victorian meals and table etiquette.

We have a second recommendation for further reading if you’re interested in Little Women meals. Food in the Civil War Era: The North, by Helen Zoe Veit, is five 19th-century cookbooks in one, plus insightful, articulate commentary.

Book Review: The Young Housekeeper’s Friend
And now we’d like to recommend three books for further reading on 19th-century meals, just in case you become as obsessed with 1860s food history as we are now. First up: the only cookbook specifically mentioned in Little Women is The Young Housekeeper’s Friend by Mrs. Cornelius. It also happens to be one of the most excellent historical cookbooks we have ever used for a 36 Eggs project. All the recipes we tried have been delicious, even when they sound real weird.
