The Whole Body of Cookery Dissected - William Rabisha - Bog

The Whole Body of Cookery Dissected went through five editions in the twenty years after its first publication and this current volume is a facsimile of the 1682 printing. The text is a remarkable statement of the art of cookery as it was in the 1660, and proved surprisingly influential over a very long period. The modern cook will find plenty to amuse, from making a broth or pottage called skink, to a trotter pie, a quince cream, a lamphrey eel pie, or how to fry primrose leaves with eggs.
