Royal cookery, or, The complete court-cook is a cookery book compiled by Patrick Lamb and printed in London in 1710, written for the cooks of the royal palaces at St. James's, Kensington, Hampton Court and Windsor. Its pictures are copper-engraved plates of banquet courses, drawn as ovals and circles of labelled dishes arranged in tidy symmetrical grids, which a designer might borrow for diagrammatic menu layouts, radial infographics, or early-modern table settings.
