Hannah Glasse was one of the most famous recipe book authors of her time, with her 'Art of Cookery' being held as the dominant reference for home cooks in much of the English-speaking world in the second half of the 18th century and the early 19th century. Glasse made the specific choice to write in plain English so her writing might not only be intelligible to high society but to the servant class as well. Early editions such as this one were not illustrated.
