Original high society notes on how to live well--recipes from
Cinnamon Spinach to Pitchcocked Eels, herbal remedies for
everything from smallpox to "inhibitions"
During the 18th century ladies of high society kept handwritten
notes on recipes, remedies, gardening, and household tips in their
personal House Books, and it became fashionable to exchange the
most successful with friends and neighbors. Very few of these
fragile House Books have survived, and this compilation celebrates
the recent discovery of two: one from Lady Talbot of Lacock Abbey
and the other from Lady Louisa Conolly of Castletown House. This
charming compilation is full of fascinating information and useful
tips and offers insight into the lives of those living in the grand
houses of the 18th century.
