Samenvatting:

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 highly relevant to our lives today. 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 current Duchess of Northumberland. Compiling many of the 'Household Book's' wonderful recipes for puddings and preserves, and featuring what is thought to be the oldest known recipes for marmalade, The Duchess of Northumberland's Little Book of Jams, Jellies and Preseves will appeal to everyone with an interest in cookery, household management and social history.
