In an Eighteenth Century Kitchen: A Receipt Book of Cookery, 1698

57 pp. Cecil Woolf, the publisher, is the nephew and oldest living relative of Virginia Woolf. In 1917, Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard Woolf founded the British publishing house Hogarth Press. Cecil Woolf would go on to establish Cecil Woolf Publishers, his own publishing house. Illustrated by Duncan Grant. This culinary scrap-book lay dormant for nearly two centuries until its happy discovery by Mr. Beverley Nichols, who first described it in his book A Thatched Roof. The title page was written in 1698, and thereafter a succession of cooks entered recipes and household hints at intervals between 1700 and about 1750.
