Discover the recipes for Mrs Rooke's Very Good Plum Cake and Lady
Harbord's Marigold Cheese. Learn how to preserve gooseberries as
green as they grow' and make Sir Theodore Colladon's Peace Flower
Syrup. Feast on Lady St Quintin's Dutch Pudding and Mrs Eall's
Candied Cowslips. Then wash it all down with Lady Strickland's
Strong Mead or some Right Red Dutch Currant Wine. These are just
some of the delightful Georgian recipes found in the receipt books
of Sabine Winn, the eighteenth-century Swiss-born wife of Sir
Rowland Winn, 5th Baronet Nostell of the impressive Palladian
mansion, Nostell Priory in Yorkshire. Using centuries-old
cookbooks, newspaper clippings, old family recipes and
contributions from noble friends, Lady Winn created a wonderfully
eclectic collection of mouth-watering dishes that are presented in
this new volume for modern readers to enjoy. Mistrustful of English
doctors, Sabine's receipt books also contain scores of remedies for
a whole series of complaints, such as: The Best Thing in the World
for Languishing Spirits or Fatigue after a Journey; Mrs Aylott's
Excellent Remedy for Colic; Aunt Barrington's Cure for Pleurisy; An
Approved Medicine to Drive the Scurvy or any other Ill Humour out
of a Man's Body; and A Diet Drink to Cure all Manner of Hurts and
Wounds.
