The accomplisht cook
or, The art & mystery of cookery
by Robert May
"The Accomplisht Cook" by Robert May is an English cookery book published in 1660. It was the largest cookery book in England at its time, organizing hundreds of recipes into 24 logical sections covering everything from roasting meats to preparing fish, eggs, and artichokes. May's work stands out for its originality during the Commonwealth period, blending medieval customs with European influences while featuring ingredients newly arrived from the Americas, including potatoes and turkey.
