Experienced English Housekeeper

FIrst published in 1769. The introduction by Roy Shipperbottom
is the fruit of extensive research into the life of the extraordinary Elizabeth
Raffald, a pioneer among women entrepreneurs – she had a cooked meat shop, wrote
the first-ever street directory and ran an employment agency for servants. This
cookery book became a bestseller, and made public the then secret art of
confectionary.
