[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Michael J Rochford has in the past written a book about Nostell Priory, but here he expands upon that somewhat with this receipt book. I must admit quite recently that I was surprised when someone claimed that there was a misspelling in a 19th Century classic because the text said receipt instead of recipe. I thought everyone knew that this was quite common and only really changed near the end of the 19th Century into recipe for universal usage. So, we start off here with a short biographical piece on Sabine Winn, and then we are taken into a selection of recipes from her receipt books. There are some other remedies in the second section here, added from some later books, which take us into the early 19th Century but the pieces here are all Georgian. As you can see with the recipes sugar is used a lot and was gradually coming down to a more affordable price, although not quite cheap enough yet for the poorer classes. As is pointed out by the author not everything.. Read more
