[Sca-cooks] Books was Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery

[Johnna Holloway]

It's far better to think of Martha Washington as a woman of her
time who was given a bound culinary manuscript upon her first marriage  
in 1749
and who in time passed that manuscript along to her granddaughter  
Nellie Custis
in 1799.
