Duchess of Northumberland`s Little Book of Jams, Jellies and Preserves
Elizabeth was the first Duchess of Northumberland and established the domestic rules of this dynasty that has ruled for over 700 years. Controlling a household of great power and prestige, she laid down the guidelines in her `Household Book` that created a framework from which to run Alnwick Castle and that, to this day, contains advice that is not only fascinating, but also remains highly relevant. The `Household Book of the noble family of the Percies` is a fascinating insight into history and domesticity through the ages that is brought right up to date by Jane, the present Duchess of Northumberland. Compiling many of the `Household Book`s` wonderful recipes for jams, jellies and preserves, and featuring what is thought to be the oldest known recipe for marmalade, The Duchess of Northumberland`s Little Book of Jams, Jellies and Preserves will appeal to everyone with an interest in cookery, household management and social history.
