[Sca-cooks] Mrs Cromwell was Protestants prohibited spices in England?

[Johnna Holloway]

I actually have owned a copy of Mrs. Cromwell's Cookery Book since 1984
when the Cambridgeshire Libraries published it in a paperback. There's 
really
no evidence that she wrote it and it's thought to be a Royalist book  
written to show
what a poor housekeeper she was. The recipes are not bad.
