This is a complete facsimile of translation of THE CLOSET OF THE EMINENTLY LEARNED SIR KENELME DIGBIE kt. OPENED: whereby is Discovered Several Ways of Making Metheglin, Sider, Cherry Wine, &c Together with Excellent Directions of Cookery (London 1669). Kenelme Digbie (1603-1665) was a swashbucking cavalier who was deployed by James I on diplomatic and other missions. He knew a lot of people (Ben Johnson and Edward Hyde for two) and collected recipes for his amusement. He died in Paris of dropsy and gout from "a surfeit of good living". He left his estate to his friends and excluded his sons and daughter completely. John Digbie, his son, had commented bitterly that his inheritance had literally been eaten away and cobbled together this book from his father's papers and published it to raise some money. This probably accounts for the ironic last line of his introduction: "Fall to, therefore, and much good may it do thee". This book is considered one of the most interesting seventeenth century cookbooks. The pages have been toned to give the impression of old parchment. This is volume VI of the Mallinckrodt Series on Food Classics and stand alone as a complete work. (There were 6 volumes altogether). There are recipes like Metheglin, Cheese-Cake, Wheaten Flommery but the recipes have not been veted by the editor for the modern kitchen. (1.9 JM FO 47/4. Fine.
