A number of recipes copied from 'First Catch your Hare, The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy', by Hannah Glasse,1747. For example: 'To boile a Custard Pudding Take a pint of Cream, out of which take two or three Spoonfulls, and mix with a Spoonful of fine flour, Set the rest to Boil, When it is boiled, take it of, and Stir in the Cold Cream, & flour very well, when it is Cold beat up five yolks & two whites of eggs Stir in a Little Salt and some nutmeg & two or three Spoonfuls of Sack Sweeten to your palate, butter a wooden bowl, & pour it in, tie a Cloth over it & boile it half an hour, when it is enough, untie the Cloth, turn the pudding out into your Dish & pour melted butter over it.'
