A Book of Cookery

A Book of Cookery is THE essential cookery book for hearth cooks and/or those interested in historic cooking!!  There is a LOT of history packed into these pages.

Cardamom and Orange Flower Water Koekjes

Baked over an open fire - watch the video below!







This book about hearth cooking would also be perfect for those Boyscouts and Girlscouts who cook over a fire or need to earn a badge, or for those who just want to learn how to do open hearth or campfire cooking.  The receipts are self explanatory, and if something needs to be explained, there is a note doing so.
