M[ONTAGU], W[alter] (c.1603-1677). The Queen's Closet Opened. London: for Nathaniel Brooks, 1658.

A classic “book of secrets” cookery manual.

It contains instructions for all manner of recipes from candies and pies to “most admirable snail juice” and even cures purportedly invented by Paracelsus. ESTC R22538
