Collection Overview | The Cookery Collection contains printed and archival material relating to food and cooking that dates from the late 15th century until the present day. The Printed Books sub-collection is principally made up from two separate collections. Blanche Legat Leigh, Lady Mayoress of Leeds, made a gift in 1939 of cookery books which included not only historical works published in Britain but also a large number of foreign, particularly Italian and French, works on cookery. John F Preston made another major gift in 1962. Among many other smaller gifts and bequests is that of over 100 Chinese cookery books, presented by Frank and Margaret Leeming. This collection contains works which date from the late 15th century until the present day on a variety of subjects, including gastronomy, home economics, medicine, confectionery, recipes, menus, and vegetarianism. |

Description | Contains manuscript notes at front and back of book. Full title: "The experienced English housekeeper for the use of ladies, housekeepers, cooks, &c.: written purely from practice; being an entirely new collection of the most genteel yet least expensive receipts in every branch of cookery, confectionary, viz. roasting, boiling... Together with the art of marketing, and a correct list of every thing in season in each month of the year, with general directions for the courses or removes. The whole made easy to the meanest capacity, and far more useful to young beginners than any book of the kind ever yet published." |
