Additional Details

This volume of recipes was written in several different hands. It is not signed, but the title page states that it was "para el uso de Antillona bonita y Arriba lupera." Among the distinctly Mexican recipes are the stew known as mancha manteles (page 29), mole poblano (41), and albondigas (61).
