About this work
Description
A Booke of usefull receipts for cookery, etc.
Containing also numerous medical receipts, with additions by several later hands.
The work of the two earliest compilers ends at p. 254. The remainder of the volume consists of medical and cookery receipts by various late 17th cent. hands. Of these the only named compiler is Jane Newton (verso of the 11th un-numbered leaf), who is perhaps the same person as the Jane Whyte who has signed a receipt on the verso of the 8th leaf from the end, which is dated 20 April [16]92.
