The Industrious Housewife

This book of useful cooking instructions and recipes was in the house at Southwell. It must have been from either the Beaumonts or the Bechers, I don't know which.

It has lost its covers and end papers so I don't know its age or correct details. It might well not be complete. It might have a different title. I think it may date before 1800. The paper is very soft and fragile. If anyone knows could they please post a Comment.
