I've got a question about Fettiplace (when I got it interlibrary loan, I
skimmed it, but didn't read the whole thing). I couldn't date any of
her recipes. Does she give a scheme for this? I know the intro says
that the recipes are written in different hands starting in 1604, but
don't remember finding (see above for how hard I searched) any
references to which recipes belonged to which period.
