''The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy'' is a cookbook by Hannah Glasse (1708–1770) first published in 1747. It was a best seller for a century after its first publication, dominating the English-speaking market and making Glasse one of the most famous cookbook authors of her time. The book ran through at least 40 editions, many of them pirated. It was published in Dublin from 1748, and in America from 1805. Glasse emphasised in her note "To the Reader" that she used plain language so that servants would be able to understand it. The 1774 edition of the book included one of the first recipes in English for an Indian-style curry. Glasse was criticised for her prejudice against French cuisine, but all the same she includes dishes in French style and with names partly in French, and she cooks with French brandy. Other recipes use imported ingredients such as cocoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, pistachios and even musk. The book was popular in the Thirteen Colonies of America, and its appeal survived the American War of Independence, copies being owned by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. ==Book== ''The Art of Cookery'' was the dominant reference for home cooks in much of the English-speaking world in the second half of the 18th century and the early 19th century, and it is still used as a reference for food research and historical reconstruction. The book was updated significantly both during her life and after her death. Early editions were not illustrated. Some posthumous editions include a decorative frontispiece, with the caption Some of the recipes were plagiarised, to the extent of being reproduced verbatim from earlier books by other writers. To guard against plagiarism, the title page of for example the sixth edition (1758) carries at its foot the warning "This BOOK is published with his MAJESTY's Royal Licence; and whoever prints it, or any Part of it, will be prosecuted". In addition, the first page of the main text is signed in ink by the author. The first edition of the book was published by Glasse herself, funded by subscription, and sold (to non-subscribers) at Mrs. Ashburn's China Shop. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
