Isabella Beeton
Isabella Mary Beeton (''née '' Mayson) (12 March 1836 – 6 February 1865), also known as Mrs Beeton, was the English author of ''Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management'' (first published in 1861), and is one of the best-known and posthumously best-selling cookery writers of the Victorian era.
==Background==
Isabella was born at 24 Milk Street, Cheapside, in London, England. Her father, Benjamin Mayson, died when she was four years old. In 1843, her mother, Elizabeth Jerram, married Henry Dorling, a widower with four children of his own. They lived in Epsom, Surrey, where Henry officiated as Clerk of Epsom Racecourse. Isabella was sent to school in Heidelberg, Germany for two years, where she became an accomplished pianist; afterwards she returned to Epsom. Including her four step-siblings, she had 20 siblings, a huge family even for the Victorian times. As the oldest, she honed her abilities in babysitting and in general household management, which gave her the experience and confidence to write her famous book.
Her nephew was Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) MP Sir Walter Smiles (MP from 1931 to 1953); her great-niece Patricia Ford, Lady Fisher, also served as a UUP MP (from 1953 to 1955).
