In An Eighteenth Century Kitchen

Limited edition, one of 2000 copies. Illustrated by Duncan Grant. This culinary scrap-book lay dormant for nearly two centuries until its happy discovery by Mr. Beverley Nichols, who first described it in his book A Thatched Roof. The title page was written in 1698, and thereafter a succession of cooks entered recipes and household hints at intervals between 1700 and about 1750.
