A Course of Lectures on the Principles of Domestic Economy and Cookery

A Course of Lectures on the Principles of Domestic Economy and Cookery, written by Juliet Corson and first published in 1887, is a practical guide aimed at women seeking to enhance their domestic skills. Based on a series of lectures delivered at the University of Minnesota, the book covers a variety of cooking techniques and domestic management topics, from basic recipes to advanced culinary methods. Corson emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging participants to prepare and taste dishes, making it a foundational text for home economics education in the late 19th century.
