Food History

Old Cookery Books and Ancient Cuisine

by W. Carew Hazlitt

William Carew Hazlitt, grandson of the essayist, wrote this genial history of English cookery books in 1886, from the Romans and the Forme of Cury to the eighteenth century. He is good on old words and older dishes. It is a fine first map of the shelf around it.
