Illustrated with an engraved frontispiece.
This work, by 'Ignotus', and with medical commentary from Dr. Alexander Hunter, aims to unite culinary skill with principles of health and diet.
The work presents a selection of recipes intended not only for enjoyment but also for their purported health benefits, combining practical cookery with Enlightenment-era medical theory.

This work is unique among nineteenth century cookery works in explicitly linking gastronomy and medicine, promoting moderation, balance, and wholesome ingredients.
