Table for English cook books (Part 1)

Been writing out tables for English manuscripts
By far, my favourite has been the manuscript belonging to Mrs. Elizabeth Jacob c. 1654

Not only does it have a table set up for the cookery receipts in alphabetical order but it is also set up by function. I still have a few corrections to make is this was compiled somewhat quickly
