Mrs A.B. Marshall's Cookery Book is a comprehensive Victorian household manual issued from the author's London cookery school, gathering several hundred recipes alongside guidance on equipment, menus, and service. Marshall is now best remembered as a pioneer of frozen confectionery, having patented an ice cave and popularised the edible cornet, and the volume helped disseminate her techniques to a wide middle-class readership of late nineteenth-century England.
Cooking from this book
Cornet of Ice Cream
Signature dishAgnes Marshall is forever linked with the edible ice cream cone, which she popularised through this book and her wider work. Her cornet was a crisp baked wafer, rolled while warm into a tapering horn and filled with flavoured ice. Decades before the cone became a fairground staple in America, Marshall was already serving it at fashionable London tables, securing her reputation as Victorian England's foremost authority on ices.
