Mrs Cromwell's Cookbook

0/5 ( ratings)

On display in the Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon is a small, unassuming looking book; a leather bound volume with aged printed pages, the title of which proclaims it to be “The Court and Kitchen of Elizabeth, Commonly Called Joan Cromwell, the Wife of the Late Usurper.” The appearance of the book belies its significance as one of the strangest cookery books ever published; it claims to contain the personal recipes collected by Oliver Cromwell’s wife Elizabeth. These are bound in a volume together with an extended introduction composed of essays condemning the Cromwellian regime in general, the evils of its court and targeting Elizabeth in particular; but then with 102 recipes collated together for dishes that might have been common in the mid-1600s.

Language: English

Pages: 112
