Welcome to FabulousFusionFood's The Queen-like Closet by Hannah Woolley, Index to the Contents — This is the Index to the Contents from the Stuart volume, The Queen-like Closet by Hannah Woolley. The version presented here is from 1672, but the book itself dates back to 1670. Here you will find a facsimile of the original title page as well a the introduction and table of contents. I have used a special font to present the recipes in as close a form to the original as possible. I am also working on providing modern redactions for each and every recipe presented here. Enjoy...
These pages have been written to be as close to the font styles of the late and mid 17th century original as possible, within the limitations of HTML. The font style is therefore Gothic and the long-s symbol 'ſ' has been used in the text wherever it features in the original, as well as overbars and other symbols to represent abbreviations and the ligatures that link the c–t characters.
You will encounter many unfamiliar culinary terms and usages in this work. Where the recipe has been redacted into modern form, these are either defined in the redaction or a link to a definition is given. However, may of the terms can also be found by browsing or searching the
glossary of cooking and food terms pages on this site.
The text presented here is derived directly from the original manuscript, rendered in an late Stuart-style font. The font is embedded in this page to ensure, as far as possible, that the text renders correctly for you.
