Recipes from Romoli

Romoli, Domenico: La Singolare Dottrina Di M. Domenico Romoli... (Gio. Battista Bonfadino, Venetia, 1593)

Romoli very humbly endeavours to present a manual on everything relating to food. Divided into multiple books, there are sections on the roles of various staff within the house, the stages of a meal, a year in menus, recipes, the qualities of different foodstuffs, the properties of drinks, and finally, Food For Health.
