9r [booklet 1r] | French Soup | n/a | this recipe begins on the recto side and is continued on verso. DF |
9r [booklet 1v] | Maccaroni | n/a | this recipe begins at the bottom of booklet 1v DF |

11r | Green Butter | n/a | leaf pasted to 11r. AM |
11v | Ham Butter | n/a | leaf pasted to 11v. AM |
12r | Cheese Omlelette | Cop? I am not quite sure if this ends with a "p" but it also looks like there is actually a ? written after it. | leaf that is pasted to 12r. The color of the leaf is blue. AM |
12v | Yorkshire Pudding | n/a | leaf pasted to 12v AM |
13r | Beef Tea | D. Ball | first recipe on 13r. AM |
13r | Half Pay Pudding | West[roa?]d | second recipe on 13r. This recipe is not in the Table of Content although "Beef Tea" which is written above it is. This seems to suggest that this recipe was added after the Table of Content was written. AM |
13v | Game Pie | Syresham | only recipe on 13v. AM |
14r | Potted Meat | Mrs. Ken. | first recipe on top of 14r. AM |
14r | Duc[los?] Pudding | M. Bollor | second recipe on bottom of 14r. Again, the recipe above this one is in Table of Content but this one is not so it must have been written after Table of Content. AM |
14v | Ground Rice Mould | n/a | Leaf pasted to 14v, nothing on other side. Also not in table of contents. LD |
15r | Rissoles | n/a | Folded piece of paper pasted in, opens left-to-right. Handwriting similar to 16r and 17r. LD |
15v | Buns | M. Muster? Mustin? | Not in table of contents. Leaf pasted in along its right side. Recipe continues onto back. Dated "April 3rd/94." The recipe is written in pen but has a penciled-in addition in the second to last line that reads "put on a hot baking sheet," and appears to be in a different handwriting. The donor attribution and date are also in a different pen and appears to be a different handwriting. Some Google searching revealed that there was a Margaret Mustin living in Staffordshire at the time, but I hit a pay wall trying to investigate. Will look further.* LD |
16r | Buns | Rebecca Perry | Leaf pasted in on the upper left hand corner. Recipe continues to the other side. At first glace it appears to have a new title for a new recipe called "sultana & peels" centered at the top of the page, but it looks like the phrase "Sultanas & Peels" has instead been added in, using a caret, so the recipe reads "add currants [sultanas & peels] if you wish." Sultana refers to a type of raisin and the peels are probably candied. There is a small marking in the lower left hand corner of the reverse side, just before the donor's name, that looks like the letters "op" or "ap" (April?) and a squiggle. LD |
16v | n/a | n/a | LD |
17r | Short Buns | n/a | Leaf pasted in at upper left hand corner, recipe continues onto back. Handwriting, especially the capital Bs, looks very similar to 16r and 15r. They may all be from Rebecca Perry? However, this one underlines a few words and 16r and 15r do not have underlined words.LD |
17v | n/a | n/a | LD |
18r | Bottled Fruit | n/a | Pasted in page on stationery from "Hem Heath, Stoke-upon-Trent." LD |
18v | Boiled Cheese | D.E.D. | Not in table of contents, but written directly onto page. First recipe on 18v. LD |
18v | Apple Mould | D.e.D. | Second recipe on 18v. Not in table of contents. Written on blank cardstock pasted entirely onto cookbook page. Same donor, different handwriting. LD |
19r | Sauce* | n/a | No title on recipe, but table of contents reads "Sauce." LD |
19v | Egg & Tomatoe Entrée | Mrs. [????] | Not in table of contents but written directly onto page. Dated "Xmas 1920." I absolutely cannot make out the donor's name. I can't tell if that first letter is a J or an S (it's not an F, see the other capital F in the recipe) and whether the rest says usi, ursi, rusi, unsi, or what. If anyone has any insight, help out here. LD |
20r | Clear Mock Turtle Soup | M. A. Bollor | In table of contents, but it only says "Mock Turtle Soup" and omits the first word of the recipe title. LD |
20v | n/a | n/a | LD |
21r | Hot Beef [???] for [??????] | Sherlly Feniseniles[? I think this is right] | first recipe at top of 21r. Dated 1905, a year after the donor's contribution of "Scallops" on 4r. AM |

22r | Plain Omelette | [?????] M[????] Se[nir?] Clas [???] | second recipe on 22r. Not in Table of Content but the recipe above it is. I can only make out scattered letters of the donor's four (maybe five) word name. AM |
22v | n/a | n/a | AM |
23r | Veal Soup | M P[u?]st[un?] Preston maybe? | leaf is pasted to 23r and has tape?/or what looks kind of like part of a postage stamp stuck to upper left corner of the leaf. The donor name is written in a different hand writing with darker ink than that of the recipe. I think the date is written under the donor name but it hard to make out. AM |
23v | Household Bread | n/a | leaf is taped and pasted to 23v sideways. The upper corners of the leaf are taped while the bottom left is pasted. AM |
24r | Cuumberland Sauce | [?]. Skaired | leaf pasted to 24r. The upper right and bottom left corners are the ones taped. AM |
24v | Cold Dressed Eggs | Milton? Dilhurne | Leaf pasted to 24v. Date is written after donor's name. I think it reads "98" meaning 1898 or it could be "96" or 1896. AM |
25r | Calfs Foot Jelly | Dilhurne | AM |
25v | Calf Foot Jelly | n/a | Leaf taped to 26v. "Sugar?" is written in pencil on the leaf. "Calf Foot Jelly" is listed in the Table of Content as being on page 26. AM |

26v | n/a | n/a | AM |

On the leaf there is a water mark that can be read on the back when flipped upside down which reads "| HIERATICA | BOND" there is more to the watermark but it is slightly cut off. I think it says "British Make." AM |
27r | Minced Meat - Scotch | n/a | leaf taped to 27r at the top left corner. The paper of the leaf is light blue and the recipe continues onto the back of the leaf. AM |
27v | n/a | n/a | The corner of the leaf that is taped to 27r pokes out through and is folded over onto 27v. AM |
28r | Pouding de Caramel | Mrs. Fuick | Leaf is taped to 28r at the top right corner. Underneath donor name, it says, "Old P. Y." Possibly this indicates where she is from/where she lives. AM |

loose leaf between 59v & 60r | Curry for Meats | n/a | I believe this leaf used to be pasted to 59v. There is a piece of tape still stuck to the top left corner of the leaf.
