Scope and content
Series consists of 15 bound volumes containing culinary and medicinal recipes, all created or collected in the Doncaster region of South Yorkshire. Two of the volumes are printed works by female authors devoted to cooking, confectionery, and household management (publication dates 1795 and 1814). The remaining 13 are manuscript notebooks. Two of the manuscripts feature attributions to Sarah Anne Warde, while one is attributed to Eliza Smithson. The manuscript attributed to Eliza Smithson contains an enigmatical bill of fare, or table setting riddles, penned by Smithson wherein in place of the name of a dish, Smithson provides an enigma.
