This is a facsimile of a book first published in 1755 by the owner
of a cookery school in Edinburgh. It is provided with an historical
introduction by Peter Brears who places the work in the context of
what we know about early Scottish cookery literature as well as the
particular context of this book, found in the library of Paxton
House, a mid-18th century Adam mansion in the Scottish borders. It
is a useful marker of the state of Scottish cookery at the time, as
well as full of excellent and enticing recipes. It is published in
collaboration with The Paxton Trust, the present owners of Paxton
House.
