The Recipe Book is a manuscript cookbook written by various women in England between the years 1600 and 1825.[1] In some ways, there is no official "publisher" – someone who makes public a text – since it is not physically written on the book. Receipt book genre was popular during the early modern period, and this book contains entries for various recipes, ways to preserve food, remedies, and household tips. Housewives shared recipes and household tips with other housewives and passed them onto their daughters. Therefore, it can be assumed that the book was owned by many women. The book also provides insights into authorship and the role of women in English society during the 17-18th century. The book was owned by King Alfred's Notebook (Cayce, S.C.), and University of Pennsylvania acquired it in 2011. The book can be found at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts.
