A New System of Domestic Cookery, first published in 1806 by Maria Rundell, was the most popular English cookery book of the first half of the nineteenth century; it is often referred to simply as Mrs Rundell, but its full title is A New System of Domestic Cookery: Formed Upon Principles of Economy; and Adapted to the Use of Private Families.

Mrs Rundell has been called "the original domestic goddess"^[a] and her book "a publishing sensation" and "the most famous cookery book of its time".^[1] It ran to over 67 editions; the 1865 edition had grown to 644 pages, and earned two thousand guineas.
