File consists of 29 undated culinary recipes, many of which are on fragments of paper. Some appear to have been folded and sent as letters. One such example is addressed to Mrs. Warde (recipe for drop biscuits). One features the remains of a red wax seal. Some dishes featured in the recipes include: a variety of puddings, giblet soup, preserved mulberries, a variety of vinegars (gooseberry, rose, crab, primrose), butterscotch, cowslip wine, gingerbread, and potted trout.
