In an attempt to `rescue many fair friends from such domestic suffering'' when faced with an onslaught of dinner guuests, Catherine Dickens wrote a pamphlet of suggested menus for meals and selected recipes. Dinner for Dickens publishes a transcript of the 1852 `new edition'' of the book along with additional recipes added to the 1854 edition. More an efficient household manager than a domestic goddess, Rossi-Wilcox looks at the life of Catherine Dickens, her household and culinary skills, the writing of `What Shall We Have for Dinner?'' under the rather grand pseudonym of Lady Maria Clutterbuck, set within the context of Victorian cookery and entertaining.
