Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book: Elizabethan… par Hilary Spurling
Notation indicates that Elinor Fettiplace has this had written manuscript in 1604. It includes a recipe for tobacco liquor from Sir Walter Raleigh. The recipes are arranged by season; thus, in addition to providing different recipes from the period it constitutes a guide as to what was in season at the time of year for your event. The authoress writes extensively regarding each recipe although she does not provide measurements for all of them.
Old recipes upgraded with commentary.
The handwritten receipt book upon which this book is based was handed down in the family until it reached the author. How frequently does THAT happen? The result is the kind of cookbook I like: it gives the original recipes and a "working version", so one can easily compare the two and see how faithful the modern version is to the original. These recipes are interspersed with much interesting prose. The addition of a blank line between discussion of one recipe and the next would have vastly improved readableness. It also would have been more useful if the helpful comments re measures and approximations of Jacobean ingredients had been made more prominent and not buried in the text.… (plus d'informations)
Some recipes transcribed from a personal cookery manuscript, originally written down in 1604. Some commentary by the editor. Recipes are arranged seasonally. The biggest flaw is that some recipes were added at a later date and they are not always identified by the editor. A careful reading shows that "Chocolate Cream" was added in the 18th century and is not documentation for early use of chocolate in England.
