England's Newest Way in All Sorts of Cookery, Pastry, and All Pickles that are Fit to be Used, compiled by Henry Howard and first issued in 1710, is an early Georgian manual written from the perspective of a working professional cook. Covering roast and made dishes, pastry, confectionery, and pickling, it documents the transitional culinary practices of late Stuart and early Hanoverian England and circulated through several subsequent editions during the eighteenth century.

Neats Tongue Pie
Signature dishA signature offering of Henry Howard's manual is the neats tongue pie, a rich baked coffin of cured ox tongue layered with sweet spices, dried fruit and a buttery enrichment. Standing between the older Stuart taste for sugared meats and the cleaner savoury style of the new century, it captures exactly why this 1710 book mattered: a working London cook showing genteel households how to set a fashionable Georgian table.
