Abstract:
One volume recipe book (62 page), containing recipes for many cakes (Shrewsbury, Presbyterian, election, whortleberry) and puddings (bread and butter, Shaker's, coconut, Marlborough, Sunderland, custard). Other bread and pastry dishes include waffles, cookies, muffins, biscuits, and buns. One recipe instructs the reader to bake in shaped tins. Savory dishes include many seafood recipes, turtle soup, meat dishes of which several are pigeon, parsley butter, pies (spinach and minced meat), and bacon. Additional desserts and other items of note are whips, custards, blancmange, snow pancakes and "Eliza's ginger beer." Two medicinal recipes for cough remedy and syrup of [senever?] are present. One newspaper clipping provides a recipe for Taylor Cake and a paper insert contains a recipe for calf's foot jelly. The author of this recipe book is likely Jane Lawrence, wife of Benjamin Perkins. The Perkins Family Papers are held by the William L. Clements Library.
