Description:

Part two (devoted to rural cuisine) of the first edition of Karolina Nakwaska's famous work on manor management. As the author mentions in the introduction: "To the manors of medium-sized estates, I devote my work [...]". The author's introduction to "Country Manor" is full of endearing advice and recommendations for future or current ladies of the house or cooks - "Being a lady of the manor, and therefore having charge of the stomachs of all your household members - remember: that uniformity subtracts taste to food"; not to mention Karolina Nakwaska's remarks on women's special talents in cooking, or other household chores and errands.

Rare, especially vol.2 dedicated to the kitchen!
