[Sca-cooks] Dessert for tomorrow

[Elaine Koogler]

One that you might look for is   Mrs Sarah Longe her Receipt Booke [c. 
1610] which is in Fooles and Fricassees:  Food in Shakespeare's England 
(Published by the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC, 1999) .  I 
looked in www.addall.com, and couldn't find it, but the Folger might 
still have copies of it.  If not, and you've got the time to wait, I'll 
see if I can check it one day next week to see what's there.  Another 
possibility is Elinor Fettiplace...I don't have the actual name of the 
published book, but you should be able to find it.  It's about the same 
vintage or slightly later than the Sarah Longe book.

Hope this helps.
