by Hannah Glasse is the best
known English cookery book of the Georgian era. From the time of
popularity, and was still being republished well into the next
century.
Later editions contain added material, but none matches the beauty
of the 1983 facsimile, with a longer introduction and two essays on
to be photographed for this facsimile. They also express warm thanks
photographs of those few pages which did not reproduce clearly from
explanation. After the introductory material comes the facsimile with
not because there is anything missing but because these page numbers
few additional receipts which had been added to the book by the time
include two of special interest (that for Dressing a Turtle the West
India Way and that for Ice Cream) and because they are the only
recipes added during the period when Hannah Glasse retained all
or part of the copyright of the book. This passed out of her hands
printed, although it was not published until the following year).
