In this book, Elizabeth Cook,  wife of Captain James Cook through John Dunmore, presents a unique collection of eighteenth century recipes.

It includes 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.
