Na de handboeken van de beroepskok verschijnt nu het aantekenboek van Mevrouw. Een overleden Mevrouw, gelieerd aan de hoogste kringen, laat haar collectie recepten na aan haar dienstmaagd; deze collectie, gecompleteerd met recepten van andere Mevrouwen en Juffrouwen van stand, worden volgens een bepaald systeem geordend en dan uitgegeven met de fraaie titel De Volmaakte Keuken-Meid. Die keukenmeid kan een Volmaakte Hollandsche, een Volmaakte Geldersche, een Schrandere Stichtse, een Welervarene Utrechtse of eenvoudig een Vriessche zijn. (...) De recepten kunnen overal vandaan komen; ze zijn vaak modern, maar soms ook eeuwenoud, van Franse zowel als Engelse komaf, origineel of gewoonweg uit een kookboek overgeschreven. De eerste in de rij is de Volmaakte Hollandsche keuken-meid. Het verscheen in Amsterdam in november 1745 bij Steven van Esveldt. (...). Het succes dat dit kookboek had bracht de uitgever ertoe om, naar hij zelf zegt, de mensen met een smalle beurs ook in de gelegenheid te stellen een goedkope uitgave van de 'keuken-meid' aan te schaffen. In 1752 publiceert hij De Volmaakte grondbeginzelen van de keukenkunde met gecomprimeerde recepten uit De Hollandsche Keuken-meid plus nog eens 200 recepten extra. Hij verkocht dit boekje los, maar ook samengebonden met de beide andere delen." (Tol p.22-23).
