Message definition (English cuisine)
English cooking was systematised and made available to the middle classes by a series of popular books, their authors becoming household names. One of the first was [[Maria Rundell|Mrs Rundell]]'s ''[[A New System of Domestic Cookery]]'', 1806; it went through sixty-seven editions by 1844, selling hundreds of thousands of copies in Britain and America. This was followed by [[Eliza Acton]]'s ''[[Modern Cookery for Private Families]]'' 1845, which [[Bee Wilson]] has called "the greatest cookery book in our language", but "modern" only in a nineteenth-century sense.
