Mrs Samuelson was part of a movement in the 1920s and 30s for
preserving English regional recipes before they were lost for ever.
This book, published in 1937, was a fruit of that campaign. A
number of the recipes printed here are from her own very large
collection of cookery books. Others come from local manuscripts
that were still to be found at that time in the libraries of the
families for whom they were written, the most notable being
Philadelphia Shoebridges manuscript cookery book of 1708. Sussex
Pies and Sussex Pond Pudding (still a favourite today) are here, as
well as Sussex Hogs Pudding, Tipsy Kent Squire and recipes from the
Countess of Kents book of 1671. The range of ingredients is
unusually wide, but adventurous cooks can still use most of these
recipes today. This is the first reprint of this interesting title.
It contains delightful period black and white drawings by Vincent
Hill from the original book.
