Footnotes

Two classic Spanish cookbooks, all editions of which are rare. Unlike in France, few cookbooks appeared in Spain, and most were printed in small numbers exclusively for those wealthy enough to afford one, aristocratic families, some religious orders, doctors and lawyers etc. The first work, by the royal cook to Phillip III, was first published in 1611, and some five other editions appeared before 1705. Altamiras's work was first published in 1745; more modest in scope it was a great success and helped to revolutionise Spanish cuisine.
