Elizabeth Cleland was a teacher of cookery in Edinburgh in the mid-18th century. She wrote a general handbook of cookery for her pupils, and sold it more widely in the book trade in Scotland and England. Eventually, it went through several editions; it was the only book we know she wrote. Most early cookery books originated in London; for example, there is only one Scottish cookbook earlier than Elizabeth Cleland's. Her text, therefore, is of great interest for what it says about the state of Scottish cookery at the time. Although in fact dependent on English practice and fashion, Cleland's language and vocabulary makes her Scottish origins clear.
