|title=The Downstairs Cookbook: Recipes From A 1920s Household Cook
|rating=4
|genre=Cookery
|summary=Margaret Powell began her life in service as a housemaid, but she had an interest in cooking (her mother wouldn't allow her to learn at home as food was too precious to waste) and by talking to cooks, watching what they did and making notes she eventually rose to be cook in the grand houses on the nineteen twenties. ''The Downstairs Cookbook'' is her collection of the recipes which she used, or which were current at the time. But it's more than that. Think of it as being rather like a visit to a good cookery school where you'd collect all those hints and tips which make recipes ''work'' and the anecdotes about life in a professional kitchen.
