"Miss Leslie's Lady's New Receipt-Book" by Eliza Leslie is a comprehensive cookery guide written in the mid-19th century. This volume presents a collection of recipes and directions for cooking, preserving, pickling, and a variety of culinary arts. It aims to provide helpful and tested instructions designed for both large and small households, appealing particularly to young women interested in domestic improvement. The opening of the book introduces readers to its structure and purpose, explaining that it serves as a sequel to Leslie's previous work, "Directions for Cookery in all its Branches." The preface outlines the author's commitment to offering clear and practical cooking instructions, with a focus on both traditional and French recipes. Leslie emphasizes the intent behind the recipes, urging readers to try them faithfully to avoid disappointment in the results. She also assures that many of the included recipes boast a refined French influence, inviting families who wish to entertain guests lavishly to find valuable guidance within this cookbook.
