Martha Washington (best known as Lady Washington) was an extraordinary woman in her own right. When she married Geo. Washington she was one of the richest widows in the colonies and their partnership propelled Washington (and our country) to new heights. This Modern Lulu FIrst Edition is a very attractive reprint of Lady Washington's cookery recipes as well as lots of medical/practical advice tips (think Hints From Heloise) on how to do practically anything to keep your household running smoothly.
