ENG transcription
1594 The good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin
T. Gloning (transcr.)
ENG transcription
1596 The Good Housewife's Jewell
T. Dawson
D. Myers (transcr.) ENG transcription
1597 The Second part of the good Hus-wiues Iewell

and my own contribution of
1573 The Treasurie of commodious Conceits

The works are hosted by either medievalcookery.com or Thomas Gloning or by the Waks.
Very nice to see us all listed in a book by the British Museum.

Including fully‐tested modern day adaptations of all fifty recipes, this is an excellent resource for all those interested in history, cookery, literature and a wider approach to the world of Shakespeare."
