Although I have termed these recipes 'Elizabethan', a more accurate description would be 'Jacobethan' as the period of the recipe book from which these recipes are taken cover 1558-1625 (the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I). This is the period of the true recipe book, when modern cookery, as w know it today, really begins.
