Hardback. Etat : Very Good Plus. facsimile Reprint. 1984. Facsimile reprint of 1671 editions. vii, 130pp., [i], [i], 110pp. The two books reprinted in this volume were first published in 1655, as two of a trilogy entitled 'The Queen's Closet Opened'. at least nine editions had appeared by the 1680s, and further editions continued to appear until 1713. The editions chosen for reproduction here are both dated 1671. The work consisted of three books, each self-contained: 'The Pearl of Practice', which was medical; 'A Queen's Delight', largely devoted to confectionery, and 'The Compleat Cook', containing culinary receipts. The recipes focus on easy everyday culinary techniques / practices rather than extravagant feasts for royalty. Some recipes contained exotic ingredients such as saffron and gum dragon, but most of them featured ordinary ingredients that were widely available and commonly used in the mid-seventeenth century. The author and editor of the book is thought to have been Walter Montagu, the Queen's long-time friend and courtier. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription.
