Preface
This text reproduces the Borlase manuscript faithfully. Jean Shumway
prepared the first complete draft transcription and compiled
substantial historical and geographical materials from archives and
libraries in the United States and England. Susan Hansen prepared the
word-processed text from the first transcription, comparing it to the
original manuscript with great care. Jessica Renaud provided major
assistance by gathering an extraordinary range of information for the
introduction to this book and presenting it with a fine combination of
enthusiasm, wit, and style.
I would like to express my appreciation to colleagues at the University
of Iowa Libraries for their encouragement and assistance with this
volume: Sheila Creth, Edward Shreeves, Robert McCown, Donna
Hirst, Lissa Lord, and Helen Ryan. I was especially pleased to meet
George and Helen Birks, present owners of Bockmer House, and I
thank them for inviting me to visit their home, for describing their
experiences with the manor, and for providing two photographs of the
house.
The Iowa Szathmáry Culinary Arts Series
Many readers and collectors of cookbooks now agree with the New
York Times that "prose, not recipes, sells today's food books" (May 15,
1991) and that "the history of food [has gained] a scholarly pedigree"
(May 30, 1984). The cookbooks appearing in our series are selected
from the University of Iowa Libraries' Szathmáry Collection of
Culinary Arts, which contains more than twenty thousand items:
printed books dating from 1499 to 1995, more than one hundred
culinary manuscripts, some thirty-five hundred ephemeral pamphlets
and booklets, and a selection of professional and popular magazines.
