Susanna MacIver and her colleague Mrs. Frazer, who also published a cookery book which owed much to MacIver’s, ran one of the few cookery schools for ladies in Edinburgh. MacIver first published ’Cookery & Pastry’ in 1773 and sold it privately. It went into several editions and continued to be reprinted after her death in 1790. This is a reprint of her final edition with her own additions of 1789.

Maclean p. 92; Oxford 106; Vicaire 546 (as MacIvey); Bitting 299, Cagle 843
