Mrs Cook’s Book of Recipes

In this book, Elizabeth Cook, through John Dunmore, presents a unique collection of eighteenth century recipes. It inlcudes such delicacies as roasted goat and stewed dog, as well as favourites to welcome the mariner home: oyster loaves, jugged pigeons, fried celery and Poor Knights Pudding. Along the way we learn about the life of this remarkable London woman, who not only outlived her husband, but her six children too.
