An interesting mix of recipes from the sublime (a recipe for "Koumiss", the famous fermented mare's milk of the Golden Horde) to the questionable - grape seeds as a substitute for coffee (interestingly the 1819 US edition of this cookbook suggested rye and potatoes as a coffee substitute) Also fireworks, gardening, rat control.
