The Receipt Book of Elizabeth Raper. And a portion of her Cipher Journal written 1756 - 1770. Edited by her great-grandson Bartle Grant with a portrait and decorations by Duncan Grant. 1924.

The Nonesuch Press. 1924. 8vo. buckram, 95pp. edges uncut. A very nice copy. With recipes for such dishes as, Lamb Cutlets with Cucumber; Oxford Sausages; Oyster Toasts; Lobsters in Scollop Shells; Pull Chickens; Pistachio Nut Cream; Crocant Past. The journal is particularly charming: "Fuzzled about all morning. Made stomachers and etceteras to look smart at the races." and "Set to making mince pies made out of 30lbs. of flour, baked out all the meat; Mother made Welches which we ate hot; in form, told stories and were mighty agreeable till 2 in the morning then parted for bed.".
