In 1755, Cajsa Warg (1703-69) published Hjelpreda i hushållningen för unga fruentimber, a groundbreaking cookbook that became a great success. The book's recipes were based on ingredients that were relatively accessible, and the measurements and cooking times were more precise than usual at the time. A large number of editions followed, and the book was long considered the bible for all housewives. Cajsa Warg has since come to be regarded as the mother of Swedish culinary art with this work.
Today, most people only know Cajsa Warg by name, which is why a new edition of her book may be appropriate. This new complete edition in two volumes is based on the fifth edition of Cajsa Warg's book, which was published in 1770, a year after her death. In addition to the original book, it contains an appendix with additions, written by Warg and first published in the fourth edition, issued in 1765. To increase accessibility, we have chosen to add some explanations of words and concepts, as well as an explanation of the units of measurement found in the original edition.
