[Sca-cooks] Anna Wecker and sauteed potatoes

[Johnna Holloway]

There are 1598 editions, but they are very rare. Only one copy at LC and
one copy in Germany are listed. Indiana's Lilly Library has another.
Aresty apparently owned this edition:

Author:     Wecker, Anna, d. 1596 or 7.
Title:     Ein köstlich new Kochbuch von allerhand Speisen an Gemüsen,
Obs, Fleisch, Geflügel, Wildpret, Fischen vnd Gebachens : nicht allein
für Gesunde, sondern auch vnd fürnemlich für Krancke, in allerley
Kranckheiten vnd Gebresten, auch schwangere Weiber, Kindbetterinnen, vnd
alte schwache Leuthe ... dergleichen vormals nie im Truck aussgangen /
Alles mit sonderm Fleiss beschrieben durch F. Anna Weckerin, Weiland
Herrn D. Johann Jacob Weckers, des berühmten Medici seeligen,
nachgelassene Wittib.
Publisher:     Getruckt zu Basel : In Verlegung Ludwig Königs, Anno
Domini 1605.
Description:     Book [16], 346, [8] p. ; 16 cm. (8vo)

You'll note that this edition isn't listed by Notaker. Cagle in his 
bibliography says that the 1597 edition has been listed but no edition 
has been found. See A Matter of Taste for more details.

Hope this helps,

Johnnae
