Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. London: Arcadia Press, 1974. Fine. 1st Edition. Elizabeth Craig foreword and SIGNED copy. Number 20 of 265. In full calf binding and slipcase. FINE condition. A very nice copy from the Arcadia Press. Janie Ellice's Recipes is no ordinary recipe book but a delightful medley of household hints and instructions for many diverse things - from a cure for consumption to waterproofing clothes, from how to make cheese to knitting a shawl. All the receipts (recipes) were collected by Janie Ellice, wife of Edward Ellice, MP for St Andrews, who became one of Scotland's most popular and influential hostesses of the mid-nineteenth century. She wrote the recipes by hand in an exercise book and illustrated each page with witty pen and ink drawings: all here reproduced in facsimile with facing-page 'translation' and comments from the editor, Josie A. Wentworth, who also contributes an introduction, bibliographical notes about Janie, and a glossary of the more unusual terms and measures. Not only does the book bring to life the personality of a resourceful, talented and humorous Victorian 'housewife', but also paints a picture of country life in Victorian Scotland which so few other works can so well convey.
