Here, I will post untested old recipes that I find in old out-of-print cookery books within the public domain, so they are not subject to copyright. I will include the recipe source and link if applicable (such as a link to Gutenberg) so that you can see the original recipe and the full book if desired.
The recipes included here are, as yet, untested, so I cannot guarantee their outcome. However, since they are very old recipes that have been cooked and baked for centuries, so technically they are just untested in a more modern kitchen! Also, I do plan on testing many of the recipes and once I do I will add a photo and some comments. I have already tested out a few Victorian era recipes that I have included within our Old Menus page so do pop over there and have a nosy!
if you do prepare any of these recipes, please get in touch by emailing us at: Leigh@oldbritishrecipes.com or by posting a comment below.
We would also love to see a photo of your finished recipe. With your permission, we will include the photo of your recipe and any comments beside the recipe listing so that others can benefit from your experience.
For useful directions, advice, and measurement conversions that will be handy while baking or cooking old recipes, do have a look at our helpful guide.
