Well, not really, because aluminium doesn't really cause Alzheimer's, but she recommends aluminium cookware. In recent times, there has been a move away from aluminium, but in All about Cookery, "we belive, wherever possible, in the use of aluminium". I am, however, assuming that this is a later day addition, as aluminium was only first isolated in 1825.
Anyway, this is the list of 'required' articles for the kitchen in a fair-sized house.
Let me know if you have even half of these things. And if you do, where on earth do you keel it all?

Good God, you would have to have a lot of cupboards in your kitchen to fit all that in. What on earth are larding needles?
larding is when you get bacon fat or similar and thread it under the skin of things before you roast them, to stop them from getting dry and to enhance flavour...
