About this book
The Queen-like Closet or Rich Cabinet Stored with all manner of rare receipts for preserving, candying and cookery is a celebrated 17th-century English cookbook authored by Hannah Woolley, first published in 1670. This comprehensive culinary guide is renowned for its extensive collection of over 500 recipes, offering a fascinating glimpse into the domestic arts and food culture of Restoration England. Aimed primarily at women, the book provides detailed instructions for preparing a wide array of dishes, including meats, fish, pies, tarts, cakes, and sweetmeats, as well as methods for preserving fruits, making cordials, distilling waters, and crafting medicinal remedies. Woolley's work is notable for its practical advice, clear directions, and emphasis on both everyday fare and elaborate banqueting treats, reflecting the tastes and customs of the English gentry. The Queen-like Closet also includes guidance on household management, etiquette, and beauty treatments, making it an invaluable resource for the "ingenious persons of the female sex" seeking to master the domestic sphere. Rich in historical detail and culinary tradition, this book remains a vital document for anyone interested in early modern cookery, women's history, and the evolution of English cuisine.
