Description

Rebound, Very Scarce

A very scarce work. A comprehensive cookery work, looking in depth into the cooking and buying of meat and fish, whilst also discussing puddings, and vegetables. Also with advice and tips on household issues. Cookery works saw a rise of popularity in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, due to the rising literacy rates in the United Kingdom.
