Abstract

The texts reprinted in 'Seventeenth-century English recipe books' allow us to reconstruct the history of recipes, both medical and culinary, from the mid-16th to mid-17th century, and situate that history within the larger scientific and intellectual practices of the period. Recipe collections stand at a historically significant intersection between the practical sciences of the body (which are also represented in anatomies, herbals, midwives' manuals and medical handbooks) and the mechanical arts (prominent in manuals of instruction for navigation, geometry, surveying and metallurgy, among others). In a world in which daily sustenance and physical health were primarily women's responsibilities, women were central to these texts that record what was both a traditional art and a new science. Seventeenth-century English recipe collections stand as an unaknowledged companion to the experimental texts of the New Science. In early modern England, there is no distinct or fully established category of cookbooks. Printed recipe books dedicated to food, physic and chirurgery instead emerge within and alongside three parallel genres : books of secrets, dietaries and books of household and estate management. Because these works are the product of the historic shift into print culture, they also offer important evidence about women as readers, contributors and writers in this culturally powerful area of human experience.
