[Sca-cooks] Sallets, humbles was Anyone know about this book?

[johnna holloway]

Absolutely the wrong book is being described.

Sallets, Humbles, etc. contains recipes drawn from
Dawson, Markham, Murrell, and
 Good Huswife's Handmaide for the Kitchin.
It does not contain FC, Babee's, etc.
It features Elizabethan recipes, not the earlier English
Manuscript recipes.
