The Kenya Settlers' Cookery Book And Household Guide. Undated Hardback 3rd Edition. 1930s. New
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The Kenya Settlers' Cookery Book and Household Guide, published by the Church of Scotland's Women's Guild, walks an uneasy path between demonstrating to young wives how to maintain the standards of Home, but also providing practical advice as to keeping house in east Africa. This is a guidebook in aid of civilisation: while some concessions are made to Kenyan conditions, its model remains always Mrs Beeton. Its recipes are for macaroni cheese, chicken pie, and shortbread. Gardens are to be planted with poppies, dahlias, roses, carnations, and snapdragons. Phrases in Swahili and Kikuyu centre around cleanliness, punctuality, and obedience. Well-used copy, very creased spine, though the binding is holding well. Price reduced for condition.
