What is The Young Housekeeper (PagePerfect NOOK Book) : Or, Thoughts on Food and Cookery about?

Printed in at least twenty editions by 1851, The Young Housekeeper was a successful work by prolific author and president of the American Vegetarian Society, William A. Alcott. Of the 108 books authored by Alcott, The Young Housekeeper focuses on the role of mothers and housekeepers in the healthy preparation of food for the family. Alcott stressed that the types of food consumed as well as the method of preparation all combined to be "best for their whole being, here and hereafter."

The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from
