With attractive and varied rubricated headings in capitals to each section, and additionally with six attractive coloured original drawings of soup (showing a tureen), fish (showing a goldfish bowl), Meats (showing cows) and so on (see photos).

The recipes themselves are rather varied, with an occasional international flavour such as Maryland Noodles; White Soup (source: Parkes House, Boston); Ochra Gumbo; Indian Curry Sauce; Fish a la Normandie; Gumbo Fillet; French bread; Pennsylvania Flannel Cakes; Dixie Biscuits; Washington Pie; Nurenburg Pudding; Indian Pudding; Boston Apple Pudding; Bavarian Cream; Charlotte Russe. The source is occasionally given Professor Bott provided several recipes; as does Mrs Douthitt herself. The several American recipes are also unusual to have, and it is possible that Mrs Douthitt was from an American family. It is also not clear how the book functioned as a fund-raiser for the hospital, as the recipes are not especially oriented toward the ill, but it is clearly intended to be attractively presented and could conceivably have been a manuscript that was intended to be published and sold as a printed volume, with the revenue going to the hospital. However, we have been unable to locate any printed version. It appears that the manuscript is not quite finished, so presumably the compiler intended to add a few further recipes before putting it to its purported use. A most unusual and intriguing item.…

Manuscript notebook, neatly legible text (just over half the leaves in use); some toning and soiling, but internally clean, pp. [80] (170 x 200 mm), brown paper backed boards, marbled edges and endpapers, title by hand to upper cover; a little shaken and browned, with the upper joint starting; ownership inscriptions and the odd biographical detail within the text (see below), good. A neatly written and fully indexed mid-nineteenth-century recipe book. Mrs. Heek's go-to recipes include soup maigre, bath buns, Irish sauce, 'souflee' potatoes, Seville orange tart, puddings (Irish, Genoese, Alderman - a variation of Bakewell tart using apricots), 'German Pie' (beef and pork sausages, liver, large oysters with their juice, and cayenne pepper), home remedies, and a method for preserving eggs. Loose sheets feature recipes for parsnip wine (with a horseradish variant for those who favour something spicier), various icings, and raspberry vinegar. The very different addresses in the front of the book - 30 Pudding Lane and 22 Upper Brook Street - presumably represent Heek's places of lodging and work respectively. She was the cook for William Battie Wrightson M.P., (1789-1879) of Cusworth Hall in Doncaster, who had 22 Upper Brook Street as his London residence from 1841 until his death. A later addition in a different hand (a recipe for knitted woollen slippers), suggests a later owner in the West Midlands. (Plus further ms documents and modern booklet relating to the Battie-Wrightsons.). …
