Margaret Powell (1907 – April 1984) was an English writer. Her book about her experiences in domestic service, Below Stairs, became a best-seller and she went on to write other books and became a television personality. Below Stairs was an impetus for Upstairs, Downstairs and the basis of Beryl's Lot, and is one of the inspirations of Downton Abbey. Ellen Margaret Steer's father Harry was seasonally employed as a house painter, and her mother Florence was a charwoman.

In the national bestseller Below Stairs, Margaret Powell told readers what it was really like to work in the great houses of England. In Margaret Powell's Cookery Book, she gives readers a closer look at the world inside the vast kitchens of these great houses. It's an eye-opening and mouthwatering snapshot of that world. The upstairs dining room always demanded the best of Continental cuisine and, cooking downstairs, Margaret Powell obliged. Her cookery book is a firsthand account of the way people cooked and dined in the early twentieth century when houses like those in "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey" were fully staffed and running like clockwork. Describing kitchen equipment such as the black ranges that had to be shined daily, the fancy moulds that needed screen covers to keep out the flies and tubs of ice that were used instead of refrigerators, she tells readers just how big a job it was to keep the upstairs dining table abundantly filled. Giving away the secrets of the manor, she presents more than 500 recipes, from the simple to the sophisticated. Divided into chapters such as Hors d'oeuvre, Soups, Fish, Entrees, Roasts and Meat Dishes , Savouries, Puddings and others, she shows readers today what it was like to eat well, if you were a member of England's upper class. Classic, but simple, dishes such as Shepherd's Pie and Roast Chicken Stuffed with Herbs alternate with sophisticated fare and long-lost recipes like Potatoes a la Florence, Rabbit Pilau, Compote of Snipe, Sardines a la Bombay and Queen Mab Pudding. With her trademark wit and gimlet eye, she tells readers what it was like to cook for her "betters" but she also states one thing proudly--"Food is more than just food. I like it be prepared and cooked well, and I like trouble taken over it." Behind every well-fed family like the Crawleys of "Downton Abbey" or the Bellamys of "Upstairs, Downstairs" was a cook like Margaret Powell and, now, she invites readers everywhere to the feast.

Going back in time in a cook book , pretending it is Downton Abby is interesting and being " upstairs " is preferable .
With that many courses , people wouldn't have been as skinny as Downtons inhabitants unless a lot of it ended up
as food for the pigs after being tasted . The recipes are simple and some are time consuming like making stock
for soups and souces and cooling things without refrigeration. An interesting read with usable recipes .

For someone like me, this book is loads of fun. I thoroughly enjoy sitting down and reading a cookbook as if it were a novel. Each cookbook can give me insight into the culture, historical era, and social norms of the era from which the recipes come. This book is a real treasure chest of how people lived, and what they ate in my grandparents' time, and my parents' childhood.

This was for a gift to a good friend, but first I hard to read it. The recipes are strange but the reading is good. I think you will like it.

Margaret Powell writes so well - I have never read a cook book cover to cover until this one - she gives insight into the cooking tradition of her time, as well as provide interesting recipes (I tried the soup stock and it worked wonderfully) - can't wait to make the Yorkshire pudding and the treacle tart - some recipes may not be applicable to our age - nonetheless it is a great read - historically and otherwise!

Wow! I love all the discussions about the process of cooking back then. Not really planning to use the recipes. Some of the measurements (such as a dessert spoonful) are a mystery to me.

Looking forward to creating some of the recipes in this book. Phenomenal delivery of product, easy reading and very interesting

Well-received gift. Thank you!

I really hate to cook, bot this book makes me want to get into the kitchen and challenge myself. The recipes are mostly doable, although some belong in another time and place and are just fun to read. They are also fun to read if you are into Downton Abbey,etc. Read and enjoy!
