The Complete Confectioner - Softcover

With over 40 editions of her first cookbook, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, Hannah Glasse was the most widely published culinary author in the 18th century. However, seven years after the debut of that beloved book, Hannah Glasse found herself bankrupt and forced to sell the copyright. In an attempt to recover from her bankruptcy, Glasse published The Complete Confectioner that focused entirely on the confectionery arts. This recipe collection includes candies, biscuits, cakes, custards, jellies and blancmange, syllabubs, cheesecakes, wines, cordials, and mead. Also includes recipes for 18th century ice cream!
