The author describes himself as "Cook (under Mr. Lamb) to King William; as also the Dukes of Buckingham, Ormond, D'Aumont (the French Ambassador) and others of the Nobility and Gentry." In the preface, the author states, "It is true, there are several Books of Cookery already extant, but most of 'em very defective and erroneous, and others filled with old Receipts, that are impracticable at this Time." He goes on to denounce the work of his former chief, Patrick Lamb, who's work Royal Cookery had been published years earlier, and attacked him for pirating other people's receipts... [MacLean]
