“…Their numbers mentioned in early modern recipes appear to increase over time, and the objects seem to diversify. Further research should pinpoint whether this is related to the generally increasing numbers of recipes included in cookbooks (Figure 8.8), and whether early modern households indeed owned more diversified culinary material, as discussed by Pennell (1998Pennell ( , 2016. The study of probate inventories suggests that, for the province of Holland, culinary material culture Source: See Table 8.1.…”

“…The casserole was a type of frying pan that existed long before the publication of that cookbook in 1797, as is proven by the single reference in De verstandige kock of sorghvuldige huyshoudster (1669). The casserole is therefore a perfect example of the diversifying of culinary material culture in later cookbooks, and its growing popularity in the cookbooks is probably testimony to the gradual transition from stewing to frying food over a high heat instead of an open fire (Pennell, 2016). Almost all cooking techniques could be practised in a 'common pan' too, but later cookbooks are more specific in their wording -probably to instruct the more inexperienced cooks, such as kitchen maids and housewives, who were targeted in late eighteenth-and nineteenth-century cookbooks to purchase and use them.…”

The Influence of Space Standards on Housing Typologies: The Evolution of the Nuclear Family Dwelling in England

This article explores the evolution of dwelling typologies in London, examining how regulations and standards have transformed housing layouts and indirectly informed personal and social interactions at home. Housing policy of the past century, as reflected through space standards, type plans, housing manuals, and reports, reveal a socio-political agenda of promoting nuclear family dwellings, traditionally a household of parents and their children. This article contributes to this discussion by exploring the contextual drivers, spatial reasoning, and evidence underpinning the decisions of housing reports such as the Tudor Walters Report (1918), the Dudley Report (1944), and the Parker Morris Report (1961). Changes in household structures can be seen through regulations: from multiple families sharing a house, to the separation of individual families into single homes, to prioritising the individual over the family unit. This article analyses how five historical moments in which typological shifts promoted nuclear family dwellings that have determined spatial hierarchies and family dynamics around cooking, eating, and socialising. Similarly, societal shifts in housing expectations, such as the changing perceptions of social status symbols, privacy, gender roles, and household dynamics have contributed to the spatial arrangement and layout of homes. By shedding light on the socio-technical transformations, this research highlights the need for innovative design solutions and evidence-based space standards to meet contemporary needs.

“…Twenty-first-century studies of eighteenth-century domestic work have examined practices relating to food, record-keeping and domestic upkeep and revealed their larger social relevance. 52 This scholarship builds on at least fifty years of research by gender historians that has debated women's experiences of domestic life and labour at length, also addressing male contributions to domestic work. 53 Such analysis of gender, work and the home has been closely shadowed by debates concerning 'public' and 'private' space.…”

A Culture of Curiosity

This is a book about the character of enquiry in the eighteenth century. It focuses on the years c. 1660 to 1830, an era synonymous with 'Enlightenment' and consolidation of the 'new science'. A vast body of scholarship has discussed the activities of this period's famous intellectuals: fellows of the Royal Society, university men, letter-writers in far-reaching networks of scholarly exchange or the new industrialists making connections between the art and science of manufacture. The individuals at the heart of this book are more difficult to categorise; their achievements were rarely proclaimed in print. They were members of a large and diverse population of the intellectually curious and they conducted their enquiries from home.The eighteenth-century home was a complex space, capable of providing its inhabitants with sustenance of a physical, social and emotional kind. As such, it was also an environment uniquely conducive to scientific work. The materials, equipment and skills of home produced the goods necessary to feed, clothe and heal a family. Households were sustaining and generative; they were simultaneously the sites of childbirth and cheese-making. Many aspects of domestic labour demanded in-depth material knowledge and techniques were honed through repetition. As Bathsua Makin observed in 1673, 'To buy wooll and Flax, to die scarlet and purple requires skill in natural philosophy.' 1 Thus, people worked busily and skilfully to achieve the necessary cycles of production and consumption. They cheated the deprivation of winter with preserved fruit and meat and they carefully recorded the results of their resourcefulness in pounds, shilling and pence. These domestic practices, in all their variety, equipped occupants with the tools of their intellectual
