The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy The Revolutionary 1805 Classic by Hannah Glasse

Nicholas f Matranga, Dutch farmhouse Staten Island, Wikipedia

Would you like to imagine that you're a Georgian woman trying to learn the art of cooking? You can with this book! I am really not much of a cook and the old-fashioned language can be difficult to interpret, however, there are lots of tips for roasts that probably still apply today. Many of the recipes seem complicated, such as the beautiful-sounding 'tansey', but there are also easy ones, surprisingly.
For example, I really like spinach, and I intend to cook poached eggs with spinach for breakfast.
There are lots of recipes for spinach. I doubt that any self-respecting Georgian woman would eat that awful kale!

Here are some more Georgian recipes.

I received this free ebook from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
