Magistro Artis, Edere est Esse. Printed for G. Bedell, and T. Collins, and are to be sold at their shop at the Middle-Temple-Gate, in Fleetstreet, 1658. The Publisher TO THE READER. IT was an odd saying of a mad Fellow, who having well dined, clapped his hand upon the board, and protested, That this eating and drinking was a very pretty Invention, who ever first found it out. But it is a sober saying, that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 (as Plato calls it, lib. 1. de Reipub.) The Art of Cookery, and Teaching men to eat, not like Cannibals, but, like men, is none of the lowest Requisites in a well governed Commonwealth. The Cook in Plautus (Pseudol.) therefore did not account it sauciness to call himself Hominum servatorem, The preserver of mankind. The Great Author of this small Enchiridion shows you the Excellency of Kitchen-physic, beyond all Galley pots, and their Adherents. He doth in this Book teach you, Ex parvis componore magna, To improve a Porter's dinner into a Dish fit for a Prince's Table, To make bad meat good, and good meat better. This Book is a Save-all; It suffers nothing to be lost. It will teach you to keep good houses, by keeping good things in them. But here I must take leave to complain (in the words of a grave Person) of the too Epidemical humour of these Times: The Pedlars, Attire-women, and Mountebanks of Counterfeit wares, Periwigs and Paintings, do like so many Butter flies swarm over all our Shires, haunt all good houses, and so drain the purses of substantial men inclined to Hospitality, as that the very Beefpot is now dwindled into a sorrowful Skillet, and the old trusty and well-beloved Blacke-Jacke turned into a fine Venice-glass. Thus is the Kitchen and Cellar eaten out of doors by the Wardrobe and Cabinets:— Difficile est Satyram non scribere,— 'Tis hard to keep my pen from wormwood. But I have sweeter stuff to tell you of. After Dinner, comes the Banquet: and after the Doctour's Cook, enters his Confectioner; who will show, you such Rarities, that therein Art seems to outdo herself. I confess, it may well be laid in my Dish, that I am no fit Cook to dress an Epistle, and to set it forth in the Kickshaw Language, which these Chamaeleon-Times love to feed on: And, indeed, I am utterly unfit to write of Cookery, who am not able to give an account of the very terms of their Art: If therefore I bestow an Apothegme upon you to this purpose, you will thank me for Registering, and preserving it in this Paper. It chanced that Doctor Butler, (that famous Physician of Clare-Hall in Cambridge) being at a great Feast, with the, no less, Lawyer Sir Edward Cook: The Lawyer would needs undertake the Doctor in his own Art; The Doctor, in defence of his Opinion, quoted some words out of Galen; The Lawyer cries out, Whereabouts in Galen are these words, I pray? The Doctor answered, In Decimo Tertio Henrici Octavi.— After this most acute reply, I have nothing more to do, but to sit down and lay by my pen. Receipts for Cookery. PIES: 1 The London Pye.

Take a quantity of fine flower, the yolks of four Eggs, and the whites of two, and a little cold water, and so make it up into perfect paste, than roll it abroad with your roulling-pin, and take little pieces of cold butter made round, and so fold it over again: in like sort fold it, roll it and butter it seven times; than you may bake any pretty cleictures, florentine or made dish with this paste. 5 To bake a Hare. Take the Hare and parboil him, then take all the flesh from the bone, and beat it in a mortar, than season it with pepper, salt, nutmegs and ginger, with two or three cloves beaten among them; when you have seasoned the flesh with these spices, souse it with wine vinegar, than lard it thick and bake it in a Coffin; before you close it put sweet butter into it, and when it is baked, put into it at the vent hole a little nutmeg, vinegar, butter and sugar, and that will make the flesh have a delicate taste; in the like sort you may make red Deer of the Phillet of beef. 6 To make a pie. Take Oxe-pallats and boil them tender, that you may thrust a straw in them, & sheep-tongues six to three pallets, and sweetbreads of Calves; the tongues must be boiled with the pallets, when they be boiled enough, then put in the sweetbreads and the yolks of four hard Eggs; then season it with pepper and salt, parsley and time, stirred small, slice the meat as you please, and as the season of the year; put into it sparagus, hartichoks, chestnuts, or any thing you will; then when ye have put them in paste put in a pound of melted butter, when it is baked make a sauce with vinegar, and the yolkes of raw Eggs; then put in that sauce. 7 To make an Artichoke Pye.

Take them and parboil them, pull of their skins, than season them with pepper, salt, nutmegs, mace and some Dates and some Lemon sliced, marrow, some sugar: when it is made fill it up with butter, and when it is almost baked fill it up with a galantine made with rhennish wine, and Dates, Mace, some yolks of Eggs hard roasted, some Potato roots, some Eringoe roots; and if the stones be towards the latter end of the year: than you must steep them all night before you par-boil them in vinegar. 9 To bake red Deer. First, par-boil your Deer, then lay it in steep all night in Claret wine and vinegar, than lard it and season it with vinegar, nutmeg pepper, salt and some mace, some Lemon sliced between, the lard must be seasoned before you stuff it, than put it in your paste with butter and some bay-leaves on the top, then when it is baked make a galentine of Claret-wine and Cinnamond and sugar, and pour it on the Pie, and then set it in again for the space of an hour or two; within less than a quarter of an hour after it is taken out, fill it up with melted butter: approved by my Lady Vidd. 10 To bake a steake Pie with a French pudding in the Pie, Printed. Season your steaks with pepper, salt and nutmegs, and let it stand in a trey an hour, then take a piece of the leanest of a leg of mutton, and mince it small with Ox suet, and a few sweet herbs, tops of young time and a branch of Penniroyall, two or three of red Sage, grated bread, yolks of Eggs, sweet Cream, Raisins of the Sun, work altogether like a pudding with your hand, stiff and roll it like balls, and put them in the steaks in a deep Coffin with a good piece of sweet butter; sprinkle a little Verjuice on it, and bake it, then cut it up and roll Sage leaves in butter, and fry them, and stick them upright in the walls, and serve the Pie without a cover with the juice of an Orange or Lemmon. 11. To Bake a Neat's tongue. First powder it a month, then boil it two or three hours, then blanch it, and whilst it is hot, season it with pepper and salt; lard it, and lay it in a pie made of rice-flower, then strew upon your tongue a good quantity of cloves and mace beaten small, and lay upon that a pound of butter and more, then close your pie, and leave a hole in the top of it. Prick your pie full of holes than set it in the oven, and let it stand four or five hours, then take it out, and put in at the hole a pint or more of vinegar, which may not be very sharp; delay it with Gascoigne wine, then stop up the hole with a piece of past very close, and put it in the oven again, and so let it stand eight hours in soaking, or else as your oven is hot, if it be very hot, let it not stand so long; for than it will be too airy, then for the space of three or four days, shake it between your hands twice or thrice, and sometimes turn the bottom upward, when you shake. 12. To bake fallow deer in the best manner. Bake it first in his own blood only, wipe it clean, but wash not it, bone it and skin it, and season it with pepper and salt, then bake it in fine paste afterwards, either puff-paste, or short paste. 13. To bake a wild Boar. Take the buttocks of brawn, and a Phillet, parboil it and mince it small, and stamp it in a mortar till it come like paste all in a lump, than lard it, and use it like the red deer, the philets also of Beef for a need will serve very well. 14. To make Capon pies Spanish fashion. Take a great flesh Capon parboil him; then cut of the flesh and mince it with a pound of beef-suet, and the marrow of 3. bones, a little cloves & mace, a little pepper, and a few currants; put all this meat into Paste made with butter, marrow melted, and sugar; and when it comes out of the oven, season it with claret wine, juice of Orange, and sugar and beaten Amber, and stir all the meat and this together. 15. To make a Calfes-head pie. Take your Calfs-head, being parboiled, & cut it into handsome slices as you can, than season it with Nutmegs, a little pepper and salt, and lay it in the Coffin, and put to it some pieces of marrow, some quartered dates, some whole mace, barberies, grapes, lettuce, some fresh butter; and so do it up, and bake it not too hard, some white-wine, sugar, verjuice; butter these, and beat together, pour this in, and so serve it in. 16. A delicate Chewet. Parboil a piece of a leg of Veal, and being cold, mince it with Beef suet and marrow, and an Apple or a couple of warns; when you have minced it fine, put to a few parboyled Currants, six dates minced, marrow cut in little square pieces, a piece of a preserved Orange-pill minced, season all this with pepper, salt, nutmeg, and a little sugar, then put it into your Coffins, and so bake it: Before you close your pie, sprinkle on a little Rose-water, and when they are baked, shave on a little sugar, and so serve it to the table. 17. To make Pease Cod. Take marrow and lay it in warm water, then take the yolkes in an egg, and a little grated bread, and mingle them together, and boil the marrow in them, then take cinnamon, sugar, and Rose-water, and put to it; then take your Paste, and so make it into Pease-cods. 18. The manner how to put a Gammon of Bacon in Paste. 'Cause your Gammon of Bacon to be steeped in water more or less, according unto its bigness, thickness and dryness. In case a Gammon of Bacon be very big, well smoked and dried, as your Mayence Gammons, and Bayonne Gammons usually are, you must let them steep in the water for at least the space of four and twenty hours or more, and then you may give a guesle whether or no your gammon be well steeped. Which that you may the better be able to judge of you, shall take it out of the said water, and make an opening or hole in the midst of the flesh, drawing forth a little piece of it; and by tafting it, you may be able to judge whether the salt and Brine be sufficiently extracted; which having done, and finding it according to your expectation, you shall thus prepare it for to be put in Paste. In the first place therefore you must pair the top of your Gammon till you come to the quick flesh, that so you may take off the superficies or upper part of the flesh, and all that you judge too dry and salt: after which you must also take away the skin or upper part, and you must also cut off the knuckle. Now, having prepared your Gammon in this manner, you must knead as much dough as you shall judge requisite for your Pastry, and you must make your Crust at least two inches thick, or thereabouts, and upon the middle of the bottom of your Pastry, you make a bed or foundation of slices of fat Bocor. This bed or foundation of fat Bacon must be as broad as the whole Gammon of Bacon, and upon the said bed of fat Bacon, you must place a good round handful of Parsley, grossly shredded, after that you shall strew your Gammon with your sweet spices; and consequenty, you shall place it upon the bed of fat Bacon and Parsly: which having done, you shall stick some Cloves upon your Gammon, and a few small pieces of Mace; after which, upon the top of your Gammon, you shall lay another bed of Persly, and a bed of fat Bacon sliced, and five or six Laurel leaves upon the fat Bacon, and after that a good half pound of sweet butter, which you must so spread, as that it may quite cover all the slices of fat Bacon, which lie upon your Gammon. Moreover, you shall knead as much paste or dough upon your kneading board, as will be requisite to make the cover or lid of your Pasly, which dough you must moisten with your little brush, and immediately cover your Pastry therewith; and having thus quite completed your said Pastry, you must straightway put it into the Oven, which must be heated in the same manner, as if you were to bake household bread, If your Gammon be a great one as aforesaid, it will require three hours boiling, but if it be an indifferent one, two hours and a half will serve, or two hours, according to its bigness; when your Pastry hath been in the Oven about half an hour, you must make three or four holes in the lid for to give your Pastry vent, for otherwise it would burst, and this you must observe in all great Pasties: Moreover, in case the Pasty-Crust doth suddenly get too high colour and grows black, that is a sign your Oven is over heated, and that it burns your pasty, wherefore you must take away the embers, And on the contrary, if your pasty attains no colour, that's a sign the Oven is not hot enough, and which will force you to increase the embers, that so your pasty may be throughly baked. One day after your pasty hath been baked you must stop up the holes, which you made in the lid with some dough, lest your pasty might be spoilt by the letting in of Air at those holes, which would be the cause that your pasty would be subject to grow mouldy, and would not keep at all. 19 An excellent way for baking all sorts of Venison and fowl. You must generally observe that no kind of flesh whatsoever may be put in paste before it be mortified, therefore you must let that flesh which ye do intent to put in paste be sufficiently mortified, which may be done by hanging it in the Air, or by burying of it under ground, for the space of twenty and four hours, after which you must beat the said flesh-meat more or less with a wooden rowlet or Pestle according to the said flesh's thickness and hardness, which is a third way to mortify it: so likewise must you observe that beef and mutton must be more beaten and mortified, than any other flesh whatsoever. Observe likewise that it is requisite to take out the superfluous and great bones of such flesh as you intent to put into paste; as for example, out of the leg or shoulder of mutton, and as for the remaining bones which are in the said flesh, you must burst and break them; at least in case you intent not to take them out quite, in the like manner you take out the breastbone of a Turkey Cock, and of other fowl in like manner. Observe also that in case your flesh which you intent to pastry up hath great nerves, and hard sinews or tough skins; you must take all that away: As for example, from a shoulder or leg of Mutton you must take of the skin in like manner, if you intent to make a Hare-pye, and that you apprehend it may be an old and hard one, you must strip off its uttermost skin, before you lard it. Moreover, you must observe that in case there be hollow places in such flesh as you intent to pastry up, as there is in a Hare and several Fowl: you must bruise and break those bones which cause the same hollowness, and so make your flesh even and smooth. As for example the maw of a Turkey Cock which you must cut and slash at every four fingers distance, that so you may the better be able to lard it. Now in case your Venison, or other gross Viands which you do intent to put in paste, should be somewhat tainted, or in case they should be warm eaten, cause water and salt to be boiled together, and let your said Venison or other gross meats steep therein as in a broth; and having so steeped for a while, draw it forth again, and hang it up to dry, that so the said liquor may run out. Now your Viands having been prepared according to the several foregoing prescriptions you may lard them very close with great pieces of fat Bacon, bigger or lesser according to the proportion and quality of your several sorts of Viands, some slices of Bacon as thick and as long as your little finger, for Venison, Beef and Mutton; others less according to your own discretion, and it will be requisite that you steep your larding Bacon some pretty while before you use it in a little Vinegar seasoned with salt; and before you lard your Viands with them, Powder them with beaten white pepper or with your sweet spices which you please. And in case your Viands be thick and of the length of half a foot or thereabouts: as for example a brisket of Veal or a Turkey Cock and the like, either lance them or cut them with trenches at four inches distance, or thereabouts, in such a wise however, that all the skin or upper part of the flesh may remain whole, and by the means of these deep trenches you may easily come to lard all the parts of your said viands which cannot be otherwise done, besides that your Viands remaining entire and whole, would be the more difficult to be baked, and the sauce or liquor of your Pastry would not be able to penetrate or pass through your flesh, but with a great deal of difficulty in case it were not lanced in the same manner as hath been proposed. Some there be that do steep their Beef, Mutton, Veal, and other Viands which they do intent to put in Paste two or three hours in Verjuice or Vinegar seasoned with salt or pepper, or with sweet spices: and with some sweet herbs, and the which must be done as soon as the said Viands shall have been beaten with the pestle or rolling pin; and after the said Viands shall have been larded, and when you shall have drawn it forth of the said liquor, you must perfect the putting of it into Paste in the following manner. Your flesh being ready to be put into paste, you must season it according to your own discretion with your salt spices in such a manner, as that your said Viands do well retain the salt or season, to which end you must powder them throughly on all sides; and in case it be a Fowl, or any other flesh that is hollow, you must as then powder it inwards: and before you powder it on the thighs or back, you must make some Lancements er inlets therein to the end that your said spices may the better hold or fasten, and may have the better operation. Your Viands being thus seasoned, you must place them on the one end of your dough or paste, either framed of Rye crust or of Wheaten, or white which you please at discretion as aforesaid, which said paste must be at least an inch in thickness, and long enough to make up the whole pasty. Your Viand or Venison, or the like, being placed upon one of the ends of your paste, you may stick therein some few Cloves, and after that you may fill it up with some slices of fat Bacon, unto which you may also add some Bay-leaves; and over and above all these things, you may also apply some fresh butter spread over the whole Pastry as aforesaid, in the foregoing chapter. Observe or note that to make a good Hare or Turkey pie, or a pie with four Ducks, you must have at least a quarter and a half, or much about half a peck and a quarter, or three quarters of a bushel of meal; moreover, two pounds of butter, and if so be you will have the crust to be very fine, you may put therein two pounds and an half, or three pounds of butter: yet however note this also that the crust being so fat, may be subject to burst in the Oven. Now in case your pasty be of Venison, or of any other viand that is not fat: As for example, in case you have a mind ro accommodate a Hare excellently well, you must needs have one half pound or three quarters of a pound of fresh butter to wrap the Hare in, and at least one pound and a half or two pounds of fat Bacon, as well to lard your Viand, as to cover it after it is empasted. But if the meat you intent to put in paste be not over dry nor lean: As for example, Suppose it be a Turkey Cock well fattened, or a good fat joint of Mutton; you shall only stand in need of a good quarter of a pound of fresh butter to enclose the said Viand withal and goad store of fat Bacon to lard it to boot, wherein you must not fail. Another observation you may take along with you that some Pastry-men do make use of sweet Suet in stead of fresh butter to raise their paste withal. Finally, so soon as your flesh shall be well and throughly seasoned with all the requisite spices and ingredients aforenamed, and that it shall be well lined with butter below and above, you may as then turn up the end of the paste which is left over the whole, only moistening the end of the paste which remains to refresh it, and join well the sides; and when you have thus joined or added the sides, you may give it what shape you will; after which you may burnish your pie or pasty and immediately after you may put it to the Oven. Observe that your Oven must be almost as hot as is prescribed in the precedent Chapter: and thus these foregoing pasties will be sufficiently baked in two hours' space, provided they be not extraordinary great thick ones: And when your said pasties shall be thus well and throughly baked and cooled again, you must not forget to stop the holes which you made in their lids, for the reasons before alleged. By reason that in case you do not make the said holes in the lid of your said pasty within a little after it hath been in the Oven it will split or burn by reason of the heat. 20. The Pastry Royal. Take a leg of Mutton, strip the skin off from it, take out the bones and the sinnues, after which beat the flesh to mortify it and then cause it to be well chopped, and as you chop it, you must season it with salt spices. Now your meat being thus well chopped, you must make up your paste of Rye-crust, and give it at least two inches in thickness proportionably according unto the bigness of your pasty, and raise the paste thereof high enough. You must line the bottom and sides thereof with fat Bacon in slices, and in the bottom you must also place a good handful of Ox suet which is small minced and thereunto add your meat after it shall have been well minced; and in case Chestnuts be in season, you may add thereunto a reasonable proportion after they shall have been first half roasted. When your meat shall be thus in your pastry you must add thereunto one handful of Beef suet well minced, and about half a pound of Beef marrow cut into small pieces about the bigness of a walnut: All which compositon you must cover or overspred with some slices of fat Bacon. Finally, you shall cover this Pastry with Rye-crust at least a finger's breadth thick, and you must make a hole in the said lidd. Such a like Pastry as this must be at least twenty or four and twenty hours in the oven, which said oven, you must all the while keep shut, to the end that it may yield a sufficient heat whereby the said Pastry may be thoroughly baked, which said pasty you must oftentimes take out of the said Oven to supply it with broth or gravy as often as it shall be wanting. To which purpose, take the bones and the skin and sinews which ye have cut away from the said leg of Mutton, bruise them indifferently, and afterwards boil them together with the said skin and sinews for the space of one hour and a half in water without salt, and when as the said liquor and broth shall be concocted in such manner as that there shall be but a pint left, you shall make use of it in the following manner, viz. After your Royal-Pasty shall have been about the space of four hours in the Oven, you must draw it, and you must pour thereinto with a funnel about the quantity of a quarter of a pint of the said liquor or broth being well heated, after which you shall again put your pasty in the Oven, and within two or three hours you shall draw it, and you shall see whether or no it doth want any sauce or liquor, in case whereof you shall add more sauce unto it: and in this manner you shall draw your said pasty at several times till it hath continued in the Oven for the space of fifteen or sixteen hours; when as you shall again draw it forth of the Oven, and shall take off its lidd, for to embellish your pasty with the yolks of eggs hard boiled cut in quarters; you may also add thereunto Mucerons, the gills and combs of Cocks and other like sweet breads; you may also thereunto add a small clove of Garlic and a drop or two of vinegar, for to make the sauce more pleasing and tart: observe also that your Lamb-stones and sweetbreads must be seasoned with your sweet spices. After which you must return the said pasty into the Oven again, and you shall let it remain there till it be throughly baked at least three hours afterwards, and you must have a care that the sauce or liquor thereof be perfectly consumed before you take your pasty out of the Oven for good and all: So likewise must you have a care to maintain the fire in the said Oven, in such manner as that the e may be a sufficient heat to bake the said pasty without the burning it. When the like pasty is throughly baked, you shall take out of it the clove of Garlic which you did put into it before you do serve it up to the Table, and after that you shall fasten on the lidd of your pasty again, that so your pasty may be brought whole to the Table: and if so be that the said pie be not eaten up at one meal you may cause it to be heated again in the Oven, until such time as it is quite expended. To make a mince pie the Italian fashion with leaved or fine Paste. Prepare your leaved or fine paste, and give it an inch thickness in the bottom, whereon you shall place a lay of about a handful of minced veal and suet together, unto which you may add three Partridges or old Pigegeons, having cut off their feet and legs; the wings and necks, and beaten the breast flat, which said fowl you shall lard in several places in the selfsame manner, as was praseribed in the larding of a Venison pasty, after which you may season them with your salt-spices and put into them peeled Chestnuts, Pineapple kernels, and Currans, a little handful of each, three yolks of eggs half boiled, and cut through the middle, a small quantity of beaten Cinnamon, and a quarter and a half, of a pound of Sugar, a slice or two of preserved Lemmon peel, and hereunto you may add some Mousecherows and Lamb-stones, and Sweetbreads, if they are to be had, and if so be you are not minded to put Partridges or Pigeons into your said pie, you may make the same of any other meat; as for example, a Coney cut into several pieces, and well larded. Moreover, to keep a better nourishment or to augment the meat of this your pasty, you may add unto all these ingredients one handful of minc't-Veale with marrow or suet, a quarter of a pound of each, and some flices of fat Bacon on the top of the whole, which said pasty being thus well filled up, you must cover the same with a lid of leaved or thin paste, not above the thickness of your little finger, or thereabouts; wash, or varnish your said lid, and make a hole in the top of your said lid. Observe that you must of necessity wrap your whole pasty in a buttered paper, which must be a high as your said pasty, and you must tie it about your said pie with packthread, to preserve your pasty the better; after which, cause your pie to be put into the Oven, being placed upon a sheet of white paper and you must give your Oven an indifferent warm hearth as you are used to do unto a Custard, this Pastry will require at least two hours and a half baking. When your said pie is almost baked, you must cause it to be drawn forth of the Oven, and you must pour thereinto with a funnel through the hole, which you had left in the lid, a sweet sauce made with a quarter of a pound of sugar, and almost a quarter of a pint of wine, whereinto you must infuse a little Cinnamon powdered; after which you must put your pie into the Oven again, and there leave it at least half an hour, to thicken the said sweet sauce. 21. To make minced Pies of fish, the bones and gristles being taken out. Take as much fine dough as your own judgement and experience will guide you to, which said passed you must make as fine as your minced pies or Cockney pies, and prepare and shape your pasty or pies in the same manner, as your Cardinal's pasties are made; and in case you make them like your minced pies, you must remember to make your Crust a little thicker in the bottom than elsewhere. When your pastry is got into a readiness, you must first line it with a slender lay of butter, after which you shall fill your pie up half way with minced Carp, or of other fish, which is seasoned in the same manner, as we shall hereafter prescribe, After which you must place upon your minced fish some few lenten sweet breads, and Junkets: as for example; some morsels of artichoke stools, of parboiled Asparagus or Carp tongues, boiled in good broth, or Chestnuts half roasted; and out of lent you may put therein some yolkes of eggs hard boiled; so likewise on Gaudie-dayes, you may add thereunto some morsels of marrow. When your pie shall be thus replenished with Lamb-stones, and sweetbreads, you must add another morsel of butter thereunto, and although you should not chance to put any Lamb-stones and sweetbreads at all in your said pie, yet you must not fail to place a lay of butter upon the first minced fish. After which you may proceed to fill up your pie to the very top with your minced fish upon the top of all, which you must again place a lay of butter, and if so be your pie may be made in a round form like unto your hot minced pies, you must add unto them a lidd of paste like unto a pinnacle, which you must place upon the top and afterwards, you must wash or varnish your said pie lidd. Put these pies into the Oven, and give them an indifferent warm hearth, as you do in the baking of your small minced pies. And in case you intent to make these minced fish pies uncovered, after they shall have been baked, you may add unto them a sweet sauce, and if it be upon a flesh-day, you may add thereunto the Gravy of a joint of Mutton, or of any other piece of roast-meat, or else a white sauce made of the yolks of raw Eggs beaten together with a little verjuice. After which you must put your pie into the Oven again for a little while, that so it may partake of the taste of the said sauce, and likewise the said sauce may have time to thicken, but you must observe not to make these minced pies of Fish too big; for that, else you will not be able to handle them, nor order them well. And therefore you had better make them in the manner of tarts, and broke them in a tart-pan, making them up in a paste, or dough, very thin, and, as we formerly called it, a leaved paste. 22. The manner to make a tart of marrow of Beef, or marrow bones.

How to make a Paste with oil, and the way how to take away the sent of the oil. In the first place, you must set your oil over the fire, that is to say, you must cause it to boil till it bubbles no more, and by this means you will take away both the sent and the unpleasantness of the oil; some others, whilst the oil is a boiling, put a crust of bread into it. Having thus prepared your oil, you may put upon your kneading-board; as for example, one pint of meal flower, whereunto add two or three yolks of eggs, and as much salt as you can take up betwixt your fingers, and as much oil as your own discretion will prompt you, to the fourth part of half a pint of water, or thereabouts, (a little more or less;) mingle all these things very well together, and work your paste throughly with your hands, but leave it somewhat of the hardest, because the oil hath not so firm and solid a body as the butter: finally, having made your paste or dough in this manner, you may make use of it according to your pleasure. 44. To make sweet Paste or dough. For Example, Take a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar, sifted through a hair, or ranging sieve, than put it into a clear marble mortar, add thereunto the quarter of the white of an egg, and about half a spoonful of Lemmon juice, stir all these softly together, until the sugar gins to jelly, and in case it will not easily jelly, add thereunto some few drops of rose-water, and when the sugar doth begin to jelly, you must beat it with a , till it becomes a hard and firm paste; and when the same is well mingled, you may make pastry crust thereof. Note, that at your pleasure you may also make paste, that is but half sweetened, by mingling an equal part in proportion of sugar, and of meal together; the which you may mingle together in the selfsame manner, as is here afore described. 55. To make sweet spices, which are used by Pastry-Cooks. For example, take two parts of vinegar, as two ounces, and one part, viz. one ounce of beaten pepper, mingle them together, add thereunto beaten cloves, and nutmegs very small grated, and beaten mace, one ounce or thereabouts, of each, for one pound of pepper, more or less as you please; and put up all these several Ingredients thus mingled in a Box. Note, that it is at your liberty to preserve all the foregoing several sorts of spices separately in little leather purses, or in a box, which is divided into several drawers, or repartitions. Note also, that divers persons do only make use of the single pepper instead of other spices, although it must needs be granted, that the composed spices all together, must needs be more pleasing and Aromatic, than the pepper alone. 56. The manner how to make a Pastry-Cooks Varnishing stuff; with the which he gives his Pies a Colour. Beat together the yolkes and whites of eggs, just as if you would make anomelet, or pan-cake; and in case you would have your Varnish to be strong and good, it will be sufficient to beat one white of an egg with two or three yolks; and on the contrary, in case you will have your Varish pale, you should only need to use the yolkes of eggs, and beat them with water. Now to make use of the aforesaid wash or varnish, take a few feathers, or a little pencil, or brush, either of silk or hog's brissels, which said brush or pencil, must be very soft; wet your said pencils or brissels in your wash or varnish, and so use it at your discretion, to wash or varnish your Pastrey-works. Now in case you will not go to the charge of eggs to make your wash or varnish, you may dissolve a little saffron, or marigold-flowers in milk; so likewise in Lent you may make use of the eggs of a Pike or Jack for your wash or varnish, that being most proper for lent, having no relation to flesh. One thing you must observe, that the Pastry Cooks put honey in their washing or varnishing, for to spare eggs. Creames. 57 Clouted Cream.

THE BEST WAY OF PRESERVING, etc. Of Preserves. 144. To preserve Apricocks the best way. TAke your Apricocks dry gathered from the tree before they be ripe, pair them thin, and take the stones out of them, take a pint of fair water, and a handful of the parings, let it boil a while, then take to every pound of Apricocks half a pound of sugar, then take it off the fire, and take out the parings, then let it stand till it sets, take half a pint or less of the clearest, and put the sugar to it in a silver pot over the fire to boil, crack the stones, take the kernels and peel them, when your syrup hath boiled almost to the height of a syrup, take it off the fire, put in your Apricocks and the Kernels, so let it boil softly at the first, and after faster, and scum it often; and when you must stir it, then take the pan between your hands and shake it, for a spoon will break them; and when you find they are boiled take them off: then take them out of the syrup as dry as you can, so put the Kernel within them, and lay them in your glasses, those that are most broken, lay them in pots; then take your syrup and boil it to a jelly very fast, so put it to them. 145. How to Candy Eringoes, Probatum. Take your Eringoe Roots that will bend every way, let the biggest of them be hardly so big as your little finger; wash them very clean and boil them in pure water not very tender, but as you may feel the pith, then drean the water from them, and slice one side of every root long ways clean through as smooth as you can. Then spread it a little and take out the pith. Afterwards, scrape the thine off tenderly of the other side when it is clean from the pith and rhyne, as you have done them, put them in fair water, and when they are all done, wring them hard out of the water, and either bread them or roll them and tie them with thread at the ends, then weigh to every pound of Eringoes, one pound and a half or more of pure fine sugar, beat half or more of your sugar, wet the weight of your roots: As for a Candy of Rose water, boil this on the fire; and when it is almost sugar again, put a little more Rose water: thus do three or four times when your sugar is very well boiled, put in the roots, and with a spoon put the liquor still on the top of them, often turning them, within a little while after the roots are in, boil them apace, put in at several times the remainder of your sugar in good big pieces, let that melt in liquor, still keep your roots turned, when they are enough, they will look clear, then take them out of the liquor, this liquor you may put to fresh roots, lay those several upon a wicker, and cover them with a paper, as soon as ever they are stiff, put them close in a box. 146. How to Candie Oranges, Probat. Choose the fairest Oranges well coloured, cut them in half, and take out the meat, than put them in fair water three or four days, shifting their waters, pair them as thin as you can, still putting them in water, as you do them. Then weigh as much fair water as Oranges, so likewise weigh as much sugar that is pure fine, make your syrrupe with the water and sugar, when it is boiled and scummed, put in your Oranges, which must be half boiled before. Cover Oranges close, let them boil a good while, then take some more sugar, something more than a-handful, and strew all a top of them, covering them close again, and when they have boiled, that they look clear, take them out of the syrup, put them in a fair dish one by another, then with a spoon fill the halfs with some of the syrup, then cover them close till the next day, then take the weight of them in sugar again, wet that sugar with some of the former syrup: And set it over the fire, when it boiles and is throughly melted and scummed, put in your Oranges in this fresh liquor: Let them but simper, when you see it comes up at top all like a Candy, pour them out in a dish as fast as you can turn all your Oranges the bottoms upward, the yellow side up, then sift sugar thick upon them, cover them close to keep in the steem. This do as fast as you can after half an hour if the Candy be pretty thick, then take them forth, put them one by one upon a Plate, the yellow side up ward, cover them with a paper, set them before the fire but not too near till they be dry, then keep them close in a box. 147. To make Quindiniacks of Ruby colour to print with moulds. Take two pounds of Pippins pared and cut in small pieces, put them into a pipkin, with as much fair water as will cover them; and when they be boiled tender, strain all the liquid substance from them; into every pint of that liquor, put half a pound of sugar; so let it boil leasurably until it come to the colour of Claret being close covered; then uncover it and let it boil as fast as it can till you see it be as thick as a jelly, you shall know when it comes to his thickness, by seeing a drop on the back of a spoon like stiff jelly, and then take it off the fire, and cool it a little, then pour it into your moulds: If the moulds be made of Wood, you must boil their moulds first, and if they be made of Tin, you need but wet them, and when your jelly is cold, take them upon a wet trencher, and so convey them in your boxes, so keep it all the year. 148 To make Quindiniackes of an Apricocke Colour with moulds that you may make them all the year. Take Pippins being pared, and cut all to pieces, and boil them tender in fair water, then wring out all the liquid substance from them, to every pint of that liquor, put ten Ounces of fine Sugar, and so let it boil as fast as you can, and when you see it stand upon the back of a spoon like your foresaid jelly then print it with your moulds, putting in a little more Sugar into every white, then into your red, and boiling a space uncovered, doth procure it to be white, for the close covering and the lazy boiling doth make it red, that is all the difference in colour. 149 To preserve Grapes. Take the Grapes when they be almost through ripe, and cut the stalks off, and stone them in the side; and as fast as you can stone them, Strew Sugar on them; you must take to every pound of Grapes, three quarters of a pound of Sugar: then take some of the sour Grapes, and wring the juice of them, and put to every pound of Grapes two spoonfuls of Juice, than set them on the fire, and still lift up the Pan, and shake it round for fear of burning too; then set them on again, and when the Sugar is melted, boil them as fast as you can possibly, and when they look very clear, and the Syrup somewhat thick, they are enough. 150 To preserve Pippins, Apricockes, Pears, Plums or Peaches green. Take your Pippins green, and quoddle them in fair water; but let the water boil first before you put them in, and you must shift them in two hot waters before they will be tender; then pull off the skin from them, and so case them in so much clarified Sugar as will cover them, and so boil them as fast as you can, keeping them from breaking: then take them up and boil the Syrup, until it be as thick as for quiddonie, than pot them, and pour the Syrup into them before they be cold, etc. Take your Apricocks and Pear-plummes, and boil them tender, then take as much Sugar as they do weigh, and take as much water as will make the Syrup, take your green Peaches before they be stoned, and thrust a pin through them; and then make a strong water of Ashes, and cast them into the hot standing Lie to take off the Fur from them, then wash them in three or four waters warm: So than put them into so much Clarified Sugar as will Candie them: So boil them, and put them up. 151. The best way to preserve Cherries. Take the best Cherries you can get, and cut the stalks something short, then for every pound of these Cherries, take two pound of other Cherries, and put them of their stalks and stones, put to them ten spoonfuls of fair water, and then set them on the fire to boil very fast, till you fee that the colour of the syrup be like pale Claret wine, then take it off the fire, and drain them from the Cherries into a pan to preserve them in, take to every pound of Cherries, a quarter of sugar, of which take half and dissolve it with the Cherry-water, drained from the Cherries, and keep them boiling very fast, till they will jelly in a spoon, and as you fee the syrup thin, take off the sugar, that you kept finely beaten, and put it to the Cherries in the boiling; the faster they boil the better they will be preserved, and let them stand in a pan till they be almost cold. 152. To preserve Oranges the French way. Take twelve of the fairest Oranges, and best coloured, and if you can get them with smooth skins they are the better, and lay them in Conduct water six days and nights, shifting them into fresh water morning and evening, then boil them very tender, and with a knife pair them very thin, rub them with salt; when you have so done, Core them with a Coring-Iron, taking out the meat and seeds; then rub them with a dry cloth till they be clean, and to every pound of Oranges, a pound and a half of sugar, and to a pound of sugar, a pint of water, then mingle your sugar and water well together in a large skillet or pan, beat the whites of three eggs, and put that into it, than set it on the fire, and let it boil till it rises, and strain it through a Mapkin; then set it on the fire again, and let it boil till the Syrup be thick, then put in your Oranges and make them seethe as fast as you can, now and then putting in a piece of fine loaf sugar the bigness of a Walnut, when they have boiled near an hour, put into them a pint of Apple-water; then boil them apace, and half a pint of white-wine, this should be put in before the Apple water, when your Oranges are very clear, and your Syrrrup so thick, that it will jelly (which you may know by setting them to cool in a spoon) when they are ready to be taken off from the fire; then put in the juice of eight Lemons warm into them, than put them into an earthen pan, and so let them stand till they be cold, then put every Orange in a several glass or pot; if you do but six Oranges at a time, it is the better. 153. To preserve green Plums. The greatest wheaten plum is the best, which will be ripe in the midst of July, gather them about that time, or later, as they grow in bigness but you must net suffer them to turn yellow, for than they never be of good colour; being gathered, lay them in water for the space of twelve hours, and when you gather them, wipe them with a clean linen cloth, and cut off a little of the stalks of every one, than set two skillets of water on the fire and when one is scalding hot, put in your plums, and take them from the fire, and cover them, and let them rest for the space of a quarter of an hour, then take them up, and when your other skillet of water doth boil, put them into it, let them but stay in it a very little while, and so let the other skillet of water wherein they were first boiled be set to the fire again, and make it to boil, and put in your plums as before; and than you shall see them rivet over, and yet your plums very whole, then while they be hot, you must with your knife scrape away the rivetting, then take to every pound of plums, a pound and two ounces of sugar finely beaten, th●n set a pan with a little fair water on the fire, and when it boyles put in your plums, and let them seethe half a quarter of an hour till you see the colour wax green, then set them off the fire a quarter of an hour, and take a handful of sugar, that is weighed, and strew it on the bottom of the pan, wherein you will preserve, and so put in your plums one by one, drawing the liquor from them, and cast the rest of your sugar on them, set the pan on a moderate fire, letting them boil continually, but very softly, and in three quarters of an hour they will be ready, as you may perceive by the greenness of your plumbs, and thickness of your Syrup; which if they be boiled enough, will jelly when it is cold: then take up your plums, and put them into a galley pot, but boil your Syrup a little longer; then strain it into some vessel, and being blood warm, pour it upon your plums, but stop not the pot before they be cold; note also you must preserve them in such a pan, as they may lie one by another, and turn of themselves, and when they have been five or six days in the Syrup, that the Syrup grow thin, you may boil it again with little sugar, but put it not to your plums, till they be cold; they must have three scaldings, and one boiling. 154. To preserve Damsins, or Red Plums, or Black. Take your Plums newly gathered, and take a little more sugar than they do weigh, then put to it as much water as will cover them, then boil your Syrup a little while, and so let it cool; then put in your Damsins or Plums, then boil them leisurely in a pot of seething water, till they be tender, then being almost cold, put them up. 155. To make Marmalet of Oranges, or Orange Cakes. Take the yellowest and fairest Oranges, and water them three days, shifting the water twice a day, pair them as thin as possibly you can, boil them into a water changed five or six times, until the bitterness of the Orange be boiled out, those that you preserve must be cut in half, but those for Marmalet must be boiled whole, let them be very tender, and slice them very thin on a Trencher, taking out the seeds, and long strings, and with a knife make it as fine as the pap of an Apple, then weigh your pap of Oranges, and to a pound of it, take a pound and an half of sugar, than you must have Pippins boiled ready in a skillet of fair water, and take the pap of them made fine on a trencher, and the strings taken out, but take not half so much Pippins as Oranges; then take the weight of it in sugar, and mix it both together in a silver or earthen dish, and set it on the coals to dry the water out of it (as you do with Quince Marmalet) when your sugar is Candy height, put in your stuff, and boil it till you think it stiff enough, stirring it continually; if you please, you may put a little musk to it. 156. Conserve of Pomegranates. Take a Pomegranate and press it, to take out the juice, than put it on a silver plate, and dry it on a small fire, or on some warm cinders, seethe your sugar until the plume or skin appear, and more than others; after it, is well sodde, take it off the fire, and whiten it, than put your juice in it, and take out your Conserve. 157. How to make Marmalet of Apples. Take ten or twelve Apples, pair them and cut them, as far as the core, and put them into clear water, then take the Apples, and the water wherein they do steep, and half a pound of sugar, or less if you will; pour them into a pan, seethe them; as they seethe, crush them lest they should burn, and when there is almost no water, strain all through a straining five, take what you have strained, and put it in the same again, with the grating of half a Lemon or Orange, before steeped abovea quarter of an hour in some warm water; and strained through a linen cloth; for to know, and take out the bitterness of it; as they seethe, stir always, lest your Marmalet do burn, you may know when it is sod, when it is as in a Jelly, and showeth less moistness; and when it is as it ought to be, take it off the fire, and spread it with a knife the thickness of two half Crowns. 158. How to make the Marmalet of Orleans. Take fifteen pounds of Quinces, three pounds of sugar, and two quarts of water, boil altogether; after it is well sodde, drain it by little and little through a Napkin, and take out of it what you can, than put your decoction in a basin with four pounds of sugar; seethe it; for to know when it is enough, try it on a plate, and if it come off, take it quickly from off the fire, and set it up in boxes, or somewhat else. 159. To Preserve Raspesses. Pick clean the fairest Raspesses, and take their bare weight in loaf-sugar, which must be finely beaten, and strew a layer of sugar in the bottom of the Skillet, or China dish, and then a layer of Raspes, and so three or four times double, and crush some juice of other Raspesses, all over them, and set them on a soft fire, till the sugar be melted, often shaking them; then let them have a quick fire, and let them boil some five walmes every time they boil up, shaking of them, and in so many boyles they will be enough. 160. To make Quindiniacke of Quinces. Take your Quinces, pair them and cut them in quarters and boil them; to every two pounds of Quinces take three quarts of Spring water to them, and so boil them very tender, then wring all the liquid substance from them, and to every pint of that liquor put half a pound of Sugar, and so let it boil leasureably till it come to his colour and thickness, then print it with your moulds, and so you may box it and keep it all the year. 161. To make Quendiniackes of Gooseberries, Raspberries, or English Currnas. Take your Goosberries, Raspberries, or English Currants; put them into a stone pot with a narrow mouth; so put them into a stone pot of seething water, otherwise called Balneum E N. Let them boil until they be tender, then pour away the liquid substance from them, and to every pine of liquor, put half a pound of Sugar, and so let it boil until it come to his colour, and thickness, then print it with your moulds, than box it and you may keep it all the year. This is the way to make Quindiniacke of all sorts of Plums whatsoever, but you must draw the quintessence and spirit out of them, for they are of a stronger body than the other fruits, and therefore they must have water, and that will make them to run clearer through your strainer before you can put your sugar unto it. 162 To Preserve Quinces. Take Quinces and weigh them, core and pair them, then take for every pound of Quinces a pound of Sugar; then take Quinces and grate them and strain them; for every pound half a pint of the juice of the Quinces, and half a pint of fair water; the water, and sugar, and syrup must be first boiled and clean skimmed, then put in, your Quinces and turn them still to keep the colour of them: then let them boil so till the Quinces be tender, they must seethe very softly, for fear of breaking; and ever as the scum ariseth, you must take it off with a feather. 163. To Preserve Quinces red. Take fair yellow Quinces, pair and core them, and put them into a preserving pan, with as much clarified Sugar as will cover them; every pound of Sugar must be clarified with Ale, a pint of fair water; and let them boil close covered very leisurably, now and then turning them to keep them from spotting, and taking off the scumm with the back of a spoon; and when you see them very tender and red, take them up and cover them, and let your syrup stand acooling; and when your syrup is cold, put them in, and they will lie in a jelly, and so you may keep them all the year. 164. To Preserve Quinces white. Take fair Pear-Quinces and core them, but not pair them, then parboil them in fair water reasonable tender; then take them and let them stand a cooling, when they be through cold them and throw them in your Sugar, being clarified as you pair them: so let them boil till they be tender, then take them up and let your syrup stand till it be cold; than you may pot your Quinces, and keep them all the year.
