Handwritten Cookbooks

Main content

Tidy, indexed, and complete, the German manuscript, at left, from 1910 is also barely legible. It is unusual among handwritten cookbooks in that its pages are filled, cover to cover, by the same hand. More often, these household cookbooks falter at some point, leaving large sections completely blank. Translators are welcome to study it by appointment in the chef’s library.
