Name: The Lady's Complete Guide; or Cookery in all its Branches... also The Complete Brewer... likewise The Family Physician, the Third Edition
Author: COLE Mrs Mary

Book Description

Mary Cole was the first cookery book writer in English to ascribe recipes to their authors, as she believed previous cookery book writers had not 'candidly acknowledged their obligations'. Ironically perhaps, Cagle notes this work was reprinted word for word and published as Maximilian Hazlemere's 'Domestic Economy; Or a Complete System of English Housekeeping' in London 1794
