Well written and clearly arranged manuscript cookery book for sweets, cakes and other desserts, by a former confectioner, specialist in candied fruits and pastries. He probably also contributed the section on sweets and desserts to the popular cookery book called the Haagsche Keukenmeid. The manuscript is written by one person in a clearly readable hand, in brown ink, and contains 40 numbered recipes, with a title-page and index. It was probably written as a gift for lady friends and their cooks by a retired confectioner at Dordrecht and is fully signed and dated. Our copy with some small strictly contemporary shopping lists for making one of the recipes loosely inserted.
Rare and well preserved manuscript cookery book. In good condition. Loose in spine.
