[Sca-cooks] Late-period Caribbean food (was Asking a favor of Phlip]

[johnna holloway]

I own that volume. It's an extraordinarily weird pamphlet titled:
The Lucayos' Cook Book. Being an Original Manuscript 300 years old, 
never published. Found in the Bahamas.
Dated 1660-1690.

Printed in Nassau, Bahamas. 1959.

It was mentioned in several SCA booklists back in the 1970's. It's a 
compilation of several different sorts of recipes ranging from sweets 
and preserves to soups and meats. In total, it's 48 pages. Karen Hess 
mentions it in the textual notes to Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery.
