Cook's Perspective: A Fascinating Insight Into 18th-Century Recipes by Two Historic Cooks","description":"\u003cb\u003eA fascinating insight into 18th-century cook Ann Cook's vitriolic lambasting of a bestselling cookbook \"The Art of Cookery\" by Hannah Glasse.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnn Cook was an 18th-century cook and cookbook author. Her cookbook was printed in three editions and contained more than just receipts. For some reason, she had a real problem with Hannah Glasse's cookbook, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Cookery: Made Plain and Easy\u003c\/i\u003e, which had been republished many times during the 18th century and would have been the first port of call for a puzzled cook or housekeeper. Cook's book included vitriolic comments about a number of Glasse's recipes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistoric cooks Clarissa F. Dillon and Deborah J. Peterson use their skills to investigate whether Cook's remarks were valid. They prepared a number of recipes, both from Glasse and from Cook, and commented on the results. Although a number of people have written about these two women, their emphasis was on the comments, not on the validity of the criticisms. This approach makes this book unique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarissa F. Dillon, Deborah J.
