The Cornucopia by Judith Herman
A collection of recipes that ranges from a 1598 recipe for four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie, to an exquisite 1653 Izaak Walton recipe for stuffed pike, to an 1898 formula for a drink improbably named the Bosom Caresser (sherry, brandy, sugar, an egg yolk, and a pinch of cayenne pepper), and more.
Judith Herman and Marguerite Shalett Herman, the daughter-mother team that compiled this volume, tested more than a thousand recipes and gathered thousands of pieces of food lore from texts in the Huntington Library's rare book collections.
