** "The Still-Room" by Charles Roundell is a manual from the early 1900s that shines a light on the realm of home management with an emphasis on the significance of knowing how to prepare meals and drinks. It starts with a strong argument supporting the value of housewifery as an essential and honorable calling, in response to modern beliefs that underestimate homemaking. It considers how societal standards have evolved, with the culinary arts being overshadowed by a dependence on food sold in stores. Arguing for the restoration of long-standing traditions, the author emphasizes that women are able to show their ingenuity and inventiveness in household management, particularly in the storing of food at home. This section is a start to the practical recipes and methods that follow, which include guidance on preserving foods in a variety of ways, all aimed at highlighting the value of homemade food. **
