The Second Chapter

On the course we have been studying the classic Mrs Beeton and her works "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management". 

In lectures we studied specific recipes and one which sprung to mind was the mushroom dish Mrs Beeton has in her chapter on the usage of Vegetables in various recipes. 

After some discussing with Nan and my Grandad Nicholas, he decided he wanted an input to my blog. Now what is rather amazing is that he has given me the family heirloom that has been passed down through many Marsh generations to study and experiment with. 

 This is like a huge encyclopedia of facts and figures which includes the "Household Cookery Book".
What is really interesting is that both Mrs Beeton's book and Nicholas' "A Book of A Million Facts" include an alphabetically listed and structured recipes that are popular. Both works teach the reader the absolute basics until you have gained the fine skills after much practice!

Mrs Beeton's Recipe

My Grandad's Household Cookery Book Recipe

Ingredients for the recipe minus the lemon juice.

Here I have added two teaspoons of cream cheese and the required amount of butter. I have left the stems on as it helps hold the butter.

After 20 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees. They are baked, buttery and delicious!
