This book collects together Cornish

recipes, many of them now forgotten,

from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th

centuries.

The recipes were brought together by

the Cornwall Federation of Women's

Institutes, and were first published in

1929.

The recipes range from the comforting

to the bizarre to the dangerous to the

downright illegal, but together they

form a fascinating record of Cornish

domestic life over two centuries.
