Eliza Leslie (1787–1858)

A really good example of early American cookery and pastry making. This book is broken up into three separate parts: 'Part The First' has puddings, custards and creams; 'Part The Second' has cakes, biscuits and gingerbread; 'Part The Third' has jellies and preserves. The Appendix has savory recipes like oyster patties and collared pork, and recipes for cordials and ginger beer. The last two recipes are interesting - Tomata (not a typo) Ketchup, and homemade yeast made with hops.
