Prospect readers will be pleased to see a reissue of this book, the 1982 facsimile being long unavailable. It is the first of a short series of writings about food and gardening by John Evelyn. The most important is an edition by Christopher Driver of John Evelyn's own recipe book, never before made public. Christopher Driver, a former editor of The Good Food Guide, is author of The British at Table and Pepys at Table. The text of Acetaria has been reset to make it more readable to modern eyes, and is furnished with an introduction by Tom Jaine, a full index and a glossary.
