COOKERY
Footnotes
Loosely inserted into this unusually attractive recipe book is a four-leaf gathering listing menus of celebratory meals hosted in 1751, beginning with "Mrs Clayton's Entertainment for the Marriage of her Neice Parker to Mr. Tarleton June 25: 1751", with the note: "Supper the first Night upon China". This was the marriage of John Tarleton (1719–1773) of Aigburth, Liverpool, merchant and shipowner in the sugar and slave trades, and Mayor of Liverpool in 1764, to Jane (d. 1797), daughter of Banastre Parker of Cuerden, Lancashire. Their son, Banastre, cavalry commander during the American war, subject of Reynolds's portrait and lover of 'Perdita' Robinson, was to be born in 1754. The menu of a "Side Table Desert" for 26 June 1751 (including lemon possets, jellies, strawberries and cream, flummery in spices, cherries and West India sweetmeats) is subscribed "Every Course upon Blue & White China and the Desert intermixt with Glass of various Kinds".
