They are great fun to read!<br /><br />Cheers, Lidian (Laura)<br />still Kitchen RetroingLidianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609618027313982020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-68000218305602115682010-12-02T11:20:09.159+10:002010-12-02T11:20:09.159+10:00Sounds like a lady I would have loved to have know...Sounds like a lady I would have loved to have known -- I'm all into categorizing, etc...

Yes, the irony is that Semmelweis had already done his work on puerperal fever (before Pasteur's Germ Theory stuff), but even two decades later it was not universally recognised - no doubt in part due to him being an Austrian jew, so very low on the pecking order amongst medical scientists of the time. <br />The best biography by far of Isabella Beeton is 'The Short Life and Long Times of Mrs Beeton' by Kathryn Hughes.The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-80911997393550510322010-12-02T07:24:01.657+10:002010-12-02T07:24:01.657+10:00I added myself to follow your blog.

I always pictured her looking, well, like Queen Victoria! How off could I have been?Ken Albalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379852662105383295noreply@blogger.com
