"Good Huswifes' Handmaid for Cookerie" appears in the bibilography to "To
the Queen's Taste" by Lorna Sass. She lists it with a date of 1588, but
gives no other information.
I did a web search (using Google, my favorite search engine) and came
across the following listing for Stuart Peachey. It was on a page of
historical re-enactment merchants.
Historical Management Associates Ltd 17c
equipment,books,furs,feasts, consultancy,lectures
Stuart Peachey, 117 Farleigh Road, Backwell. Bristol BS48 3PG
01275-463041
And on another page I found:
"Syke's Sutlering is very pleased to announce that it has been appointed
sole agent for Stuart Press books in America - a line of very specialized
English Civil War studies in a format not unlike those by Partizan Press.
This line is the brainchild of Stuart Peachy, who, in past years, had
written a number of titles in Partisan's line."
If the other address proves not to be current, you could probably
contact Syke's Sutlery and ask them for contact information.
