This is an excellent little book, with a lot packed into its 102 pages. Although the format is not my ideal (original recipe, translation or modernization of language if necessary, redacted recipe if any near enough to each other so they can easily be compared), the source that appears with each recipe and the bibliography do offer the ability to check the recipes. *I* need to check whether Mansur has occasionally inserted comments into the recipes without making that obvious. Perhaps the comments are those of the original authors.

The recipes in the cookbook are broken into the following chapters:
• Little Dishes;
• Breadstuffs;
• Sweet Biscuits and Cakes;
• Creams and Puddings; and
• Comfits and Drams.

In addition, a short but useful glossary plus sections on equivalents and weights and measures appear toward the end of this book.
