John Shirley
Wilde and Blare
1692
Unlike other popular cookbook authors of the period, John Shirley was a man, but he was also a professional witer, producing books in a variety of genres. The Accomplished Ladies' Closet appears to have been modeled off the works of Hannah Woolley, both in content and design.
