Resum

This chapter looks at the 1533 medical recipe collection of Anne de Croy and considers the relationships between food and culinary recipes, and medical recipes. I demonstrate how women built on their culinary knowledge and skills to develop their medicinal repertoire, drawing directly from Anne's text, but also how noblewomen like Anne moved beyond the realm of the culinary to create new recipes. These new recipes were complicated, expensive and impractical, but they served a performative, sometimes memorial, purpose. What Anne de Croy's collection exemplif ies is an amalgamation of generations of medical and culinary knowledge brought together in a way that is ref lective of the collector's life and learning.
