A Collection of Above Three Hundred Receipts

This version of Mary Kettelby's A Collection of Above Three Hundred Receipts, In Cookery, Physick, and Surgery was published 1714. It is the second edition, containing an additional section dedicated to home remedies for the sick. The author recommended her book to the clergy, especially to those whose Parishes were remote from other medical help. It was fairly common for early English cookbooks to include such recipes, and Kettelby's work is a prime example and a valuable resource for anyone interested in 18th English foodways.
