About this book
Numbered recipes bring the kitchen and household remedy cupboard together in Hannah Woolley’s English handbook. Her introductory address speaks to women seeking practical accomplishments, and the early entries describe preparations made with herbs, citrus fruit, wine and spices. Preserving, candying and cookery stand alongside the health beliefs of the period, giving the collection a broader scope than a book of meals alone.
The cooking pages make that range tangible through ingredients and instructions. A chicken pie includes dates, citron peel and nutmeg, while a veal pasty receives a mixture of wine, sugar, eggs and butter before serving. Other recipes explain how to preserve pork, bake pigeon pie and cook poultry with oysters. These brief, direct entries offer readers interested in food history a close look at older kitchen practices, including combinations of sweet and savoury flavours that may seem unfamiliar today.
