What is Margaret Powell's cookery book : 500 "upstairs" recipes from everyone's favorite "downstairs" kitchen maid and cook about?

<p>In the national bestseller <i>Below Stairs</i>, Margaret Powell told readers what it was really like to work in the great houses of England.&nbsp;In <i>Margaret Powell's Cookery Book</i>, she&nbsp;gives readers a closer look at the world inside the&nbsp;vast kitchens of these great houses. It's&nbsp;an eye-opening and&nbsp;mouthwatering snapshot of that world.&nbsp;The&nbsp;upstairs dining room&nbsp;always demanded the best of Continental cuisine and, cooking&nbsp;downstairs, Margaret Powell obliged.&nbsp;Her cookery book&nbsp;is a firsthand account of&nbsp;the way people&nbsp;cooked and dined in the early twentieth century when houses like those in "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey" were fully staffed and running like clockwork. Describing&nbsp;kitchen equipment such as the black ranges that had to be shined daily, the fancy moulds that needed&nbsp;screen covers to keep out the flies and tubs of ice that were used instead of refrigerators, she&nbsp;tells readers just how big a job it was to keep the upstairs dining table abundantly filled.&nbsp;Giving away the secrets of the manor, she presents more than&nbsp;500&nbsp;recipes, from the simple to the sophisticated.&nbsp;
