The Accomplisht Cook was first published in 1660 and this is a facsimile of the 1685 edition. Robert May was cook to the aristocracy of Royalist England; born in the year of the Armada; trained by his own father, then by powerful patrons in Paris; before apprenticeship in London with the cook to the Star Chamber. In the course of a long life, working almost exclusively for fellow Catholics and Royalists, he absorbed all the most fashionable tendencies at large in the kitchens of England. 'By its sheer size and comprehensive scope Robert May's book eclipsed its predecessors,' writes Alan Davidson in his foreword. Here is the most complete portrait of English cooking as it was when Charles II was restored to the throne, as well as before 'the unhappy and cruel disturbances' of the Civil War, in 'those golden days of peace and hospitality,' as the author puts it, 'when you enjoyed your own.' This edition has an excellent biographical introduction by Marcus Bell, revealing new facts about Robert May's life, a graceful foreword by Alan Davidson and a full glossary of contemporary terms.This new reprint of Prospect's edition of 2000 is part of the series 'The English Kitchen' and sits alongside and in similar format to other works, ancient and modern, on the history of English cookery.

The Accomplish Cook; Or, The Art & Mystery Of Cookery, has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

Traditionally the province of chemists, the problem of environmental pollution is increasingly being tackled using methodologies which have a biological basis. This 1998 volume provides a range of examples of how biotechnology can offer sensitive and ecologically relevant new ways of monitoring the presence of biohazards in our environment and, once detected, how these biohazards can be removed in an ecologically safe way through bioremediation. Additional chapters on economic, legislative and policy aspects set the topic in its social context, resulting in a broad-ranging volume of value to all those concerned with the science of ecologically effective environmental protection and management.
