Her booke of receiptes, 1710.
A compendium of 18th- and 19th-century culinary knowledge; a witness to the way in which domestic recipes were passed down through generations of women.
200mm x 160mm. c.236 written pages, often drafted on rectos and versos of the leaves, contemporary numbering of recipes ‘1-269’ with further recipes left unnumbered, the manuscript continued into the 19th century in at least two hands with many of the later recipes added on versos, over 300 recipes in total (first gathering detached). 18th-century calf (boards detached, losses to spine, rubbed).
This book was originally kept by Hannah Ledgard, whose dated ownership inscription is on the opening leaf; 'Hannah Jacksons', presumably her maiden name, is written inside the upper board, indicating that she started compiling the present manuscript before marriage, perhaps under the instruction of her mother or a housekeeper. The author gathers a collection of recipes for use in an early 18th-century household: there are instructions on preparing tempting dishes ranging from orange cheesecake and Dutch wafers to white quince marmalade and ‘a very savoury pye of beef’. Beverages are not overlooked: Ledgard includes a refreshing cherry wine and a cold syllabub for warm summer days. The enduring British love affair with sugar is reflected in these recipes, as well as the normal practice of ‘nose to tail’ eating, with no part of the animal wasted in recipes for black pudding, plum broth with beef, or calf’s head pie. Cures for ailments such as coughs and colds are also here, a testament to the close affinity between the culinary and medicinal arts in early modern England; a recipe for ‘my Granmothers Black salve’ points to the way in which such domestic knowledge was passed down across the generations.
