This book was given to Anne D'Ewes at the time of her marriage to John D'Ewes in 1740 by her mother Mary Granville, who was herself the daughter of Sir Martin Westcomb. Both Sir Martin and the Sir Martin before him, (his father?), were for years the English consuls in Cadiz and this book contains a group of recipes from these years, many dated at Cadiz, 1665-1687. There are also some household recipes, including several from different countries for making ink. Sources are sometimes given.

Many pages lacking. In several hands.
Mary Granville inscribed: "Mrs. Ann Granvills Book which I hope shee will make a better use of then her mother."
