[Sca-cooks] Cheese

[Johnna Holloway]

Being something of research freak myself,
You should also get hold of a copy of

Bartholomew Dowe's Dairie booke for good huswives

is anexed to  The householders philosophie which

is that odd household manual by Torquato Tasso.

A DAIRIE BOOKE FOR GOOD HUSWIVES is dated 1588 and

discusses the making and keeping of white meats

which is what dairy products were known as.

It was released as a facsimile in 1975 as part of the

English Experience series #765. The publisher was

Amsterdam : Theatrum Orbis Terrarum and in the USA by

Norwood, N.J. : W.J. Johnson. ISBN:90-221-0765-5.
