Each essay is fully illustrated from the original books and
sources, taking the study of cookery books to a new level from the
point of view of bibliography and contextual history. Particular
stress may be laid on Professor Peter Meredith's chapter which
analyses the linguistic make up of medieval recipes, tying them
into the language of miracle plays and other forms of literature.
In like manner, the chapter on illustrations in early British
cookery books goes where few have ventured before. Ivan Day's
published works are few, but he is an important figure in this
discipline. He points to significant links between British and
Continental practice, for example in the depiction of the art of
carving, as well as in the construction of pastry shapes, moulds
and pies, which take the bibliography of the cookbook to new
heights.
