In the Victorian-Era Kitchen, with Charles Elmé Francatelli!

I discuss what I was able to find about the life of Charles Elmé Francatelli (1805-1876), one of the Victorian Era’s “celebrity chefs,” who spent part of his career cooking for The Queen and Prince Albert, and look at 2 of his cookbooks, The Modern Cook and A Plain Cookery Book for the Working Classes. ***** References Cook’s Guide, The. “Charles Elmé Francatelli.” http://www.thecooksguide.com/articles/francatelli.html Cook’s Info. “Charles Elmé Francatelli: Victorian Celebrity Chef.” https://www.cooksinfo.com/charles-elme-francatelli Flantzer, Susan. “Charles Elmé Francatelli, Maitre d’hotel and Chief Cook in Ordinary to Queen Victoria.” https://www.unofficialroyalty.com/charles-elme-francatelli/ Francatelli, Charles Elmé.
