A Proper New Booke of Cokerye (Historic Recipe Books Book 1)

The Proper New Booke of Cokery is the second-oldest cookery-only book written in English. Originally published in 1545, what is presented here is the complete text of the 1557 edition in facsimile form. Also given is a new translation to modern English and modern redactions of each and every recipe so that you can cook them at home. The text of the Proper New Book of Cookery is presented in facsimile form with an embedded font (it will show period characters if your Kindle reader supports this). Each original recipe is linked directly to the modern translation and the modern redaction so that you can easily jump between versions. There is an introduction with the history of the book and a number of other period recipes, not included in the original book that will allow you to cook all the recipes contained within and to follow the orders of service so you can serve your own Tudor meals.
