Hannah Glasse, author of Joy of Cooking, 18th century, is worth reading

in #cooking6 years ago

Celebrate the author’s 310th birthday with her recipe for everlasting syllabub
"I think I tried a branch of the kitchen, on which no one has ever thought about writing," the first page begins.

At the time, cookbooks were mostly for luxury, and mostly French, cooks, but Glasse wrote his cookbook for housewives and housewives of the new middle class. With his help, Glasse writes in his preface: "I would dare to say that all the servants who can read will be able to make a good cook tolerable, and those who have the slightest notion of cooking can not fail to be very good".
