[edit] The Frugal Housewife, Dedicated to Those Who Are Not

This is apparently a very influential "cookery book", and may be worthy of coverage in this article. It was apparently quite popular (reprinted >30 times between 1829 and 1850) until it went out of fashion, partly due to her anti-slavery work. It might be good for someone familiar with the work to add a paragraph or two on the subject. Some good material is at [1], with a biography included at [2]. Jim 03:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
