I found them a fasinating read & all the pics & drawings come up well on kindle. Each volume has a different catagory, ie bread, pastries, pies & puds or fruits, desserts,preserving & pickling etc.
Great to look back on the old methods & many that still hold true today.
They do sound fascinating, were they free on amazon or somewhere else. I really like the history of food as well as the modern day eating of it
I got them from mobipocket
here's the link ... just type in woman's institute in search { make sure you use the ' in woman's}

Thankyou....will enjoy those
I downloaded Mrs Beetons Household Management from Amazon..also a real piece of history and includes the cookbook of course.
be warned there are some awful cookbooks on Amazon, not so b ad with freebies but be very careful what you buy. Many US cookbooks use packet foods not available widely in the UK.
If you do buy american cookbooks the Kindlofax has a nice info page explaining american/english cooking terms for ingredients and equipment. (or for americans buying British cookbooks of course)
