Hello Fellow Cheese Enthusiasts!

In 1861, just as the “War between the States” (American Civil War) had begun, a book on “domestic civility” had just been released in London, England. Entitled “Beeton's Book of Household Management”, it sounded like an early version of Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events, but it was so much more than that…

Behind this Victorian Era masterpiece was publisher, Samuel O. Beeton. Samuel had made his early money as the first British publisher of Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852, securing the rights from the then-unknown Harriet Beecher Stowe.
