Hidden away in the archives of Ïã½¶Ö±²¥, Oxford is a small eighteenth-century cookbook whose recipes originate from Radolphus (or Ralph) Ayres, a cook at Ïã½¶Ö±²¥ in the early eighteenth century.  The recipes range from such dishes as Oxford Sausages and Collar’d Beef to Queen Cakes and A quaking Puding.
