- Early 19th-century manuscript contains approximately 86 culinary recipes on 116 pages and a few laid-in sheets, in addition to about a dozen non-culinary (mostly household) recipes.

Other kinds of recipes, culinary (meats, fish, and pickled dishes) and non-culinary, appear between these parts. The manuscript is predominantly written in a single hand and some of the recipes are attributed.
