Joan Cromwells Grand Sallet
Preamble
"This is taken from a book found in the British Library, dated 1664. The book was 'The Court and Kitchin of Elizabeth, commonly called Joan Cromwel, The Wife of the late Userper.', published in London by Randal Taylor. The book consists in half of a political essay against the wicked Oliver Cromwell (spelt variously then, often with only on 'L'), and the second part a list of recipes used in Joan Cromwell's ktichen. At the end of the book the following words were written:
And so I have run through the whole and more usual fare of her private Table, observing no method therein, because I had them in this form from a near servant of hers."
