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.
