[Sca-cooks] Confections was Cut-Off Date for Cookery Books?

[James Prescott]

Ouverture (Liège 1604) has some sweet recipes, mostly for the base items 
without details of what to do with them.  Several pastes, quite a number 
of coloured jellies, a couple for imitation snow, a couple using a kind 
of meringue.  A recipe for making a sugar solution that can be used to 
cast figures.  Slightly more finished, a couple of recipes for imitation 
bacon, and one for imitation ice.

There is a brief description of large subtleties carved out of butter.

There are a number of simple sweet pastries, and sweet dessert tarts.
