Summary
Manuscript, in various hands, of about 376 cooking, medicinal, and household cleaning recipes, many attributed to their originator. These contributors include Mrs. Gage, Lady Barkshire, Mrs. Chute, and Lady Arundell, and other names associated with the Fitzherbert family, especially Lady Sefton, the aunt of Maria Anne Fitzherbert, who was in turn the godmother of Maria Augusta (Rosarii) Tasburgh, whose signature appears inside the front cover. The volume includes a recipe "To make blacking for bots & shoes," signed "Mr. Shenster Florence 1807" and one "To make whey for sick people" labeled "Dr. Martelles recipe 1799 Lucca"; as well as a "Paste for paper that the moths may not eat the books"; "To preserve green cucumbers"; and "Gargle for teeth or gums."
