The Diary by John Evelyn
These diaries span most of Evelyn's long life--from the reign of James I in 1620 to the reign of Queen Anne in 1706. This selection, based on the Oxford Standard Authors edition, comprises nearly one third of the Diaries and is the only edition now in print.
A founder member of the Royal Society, diarist, traveller, gardener and influential thinker, and writer on these and other subjects. Evelyn does not deserve to be overshadowed by his contemporary, Samuel Pepys. The recipes range over the repertoire of the 17th-century household and contain many recipes given to Evelyn by his friends, including a recipe for gooseberry wine attributed to Sir Christopher Wren.
