Compared to some of these, it is not very old, but I regularly use a German cookbook from the 1800s. It was specifically crafted for young women learning to organize a household and contains detailed instructions about every necessary step to take.
The other big advantage is that it almost entirely relies on local ingredients, so it is very cheap to cook, as long as you reduce the amounts suggested for butter and eggs.
