Gervase Markham, author/editor of _The English Housewife_.  This book was
written circa 1615, cribbed from many period sources, and covers a multitude
of issues he believed would be encountered by housewives of his era.  Most of
what is being quoted here is his section on cooking.

Not a silly question at all.  We really should be more careful to refer to
references by title or title and author.
