What to eat and when

By Susanna Cocroft

Steam rises from a well-laid Victorian breakfast table, where every morsel is chosen not by whim, but by a quiet science of nourishment and timing. In an age when the secrets of health were as prized as fine silver, readers turned to this remarkable nutrition advice book for guidance-seeking not only what to eat, but precisely when to partake. Now, after decades lost to time, this healthy eating guide returns to illuminate the art and logic of balanced diet principles from nineteenth century England, meticulously restored for today's and future generations by Alpha Editions. Within these pages, a tapestry of historical nutrition practices unfolds, blending practical meal planning tips with the wisdom of vintage cookery. The text is a companion and counterpoint to Mrs Beeton, offering a distinct voice on food timing strategies and the subtle interplay between sustenance and wellbeing. Home cooks and wellness seekers alike will discover a resource that speaks as much to the rhythms of daily life as to the ingredients themselves, capturing the era's earnest pursuit of health through mindful eating. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting both casual readers and classic-collection buyers to experience the culinary mindset that shaped generations. The prose conjures the bustling kitchens and quiet parlours of Victorian households, where each meal was an act of care and intention. Whether you are drawn by a fascination with historical nutrition practices or a desire to enrich your own table with balanced diet principles, this republished work stands as a bridge between past and present, restored in full by Alpha Editions for those who cherish the enduring wisdom of the ages.
