And it came to pass on 9 Feb 01, , that Susan Laing wrote:

"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.
