| | Rare Books Cookery: Elizabeth Raffald (1769) |
 | | In 1764 she became a confectioner in Manchester, and shortly afterwards established a cookery school for young ladies, which she ran in her shop. |
 | | Then, in 1769, just after she published her book, she temporarily took over the licence of the Bull's Head in Market Place, Manchester, before taking over the King's Head in Chapel Street, Salford, in 1770; both were old and famous inns. |
 | | In 1771, she helped to found Salford's first newspaper, Prescott's Journal, and to become the adviser to, and part-owner of, Harrap's Mercury. |
