- Receipt book : autograph manuscript signed, 1848-circa 1885
- Description
- This manuscript consists of approximately 240 culinary recipes and 50 medical and household receipts. The vast majority of the culinary recipes are for tea breads, cakes, little cakes, and desserts, with cakes predominating. Only about 30 of the recipes are for savory dishes, and nearly all of these are for meat, poultry, or pickles. There are no recipes for vegetables or fish. Most of the medical receipts are treatments for common complaints, such as chapped hands, warts, bleeding, and indigestion. There is one predominant hand, most likely that of Jane W.A. Beck, and several others. Many of the recipes are attributed. Clippings, mostly of recipes, are also found throughout the volume.
