Scope and content
File consists of approximately 25 chiefly undated recipes on varying sizes of loose sheets. Content is mostly culinary, but some recipes are for medical and household preparations, including two doctors' prescriptions, one recipe for sore throat relief, and one recipe to treat "delicate people, subject to complaints of the Chest." One recipe is for a brass cleaner. Dishes featured in the culinary recipes include: crab jelly, scotch bread, raspberry jelly, preparations of celery and jerusalem artichokes, "king of Delhi" pudding, arrowroot blancmange, and Italian cheese. One item features a recipe for taking stains out of furniture on the verso of a printed form letter with handwritten additions from the Askern Bath Charity in Doncaster.
