Wright is a collection of culinary and beverage recipes written in the early 20th century. This book offers a compendium of traditional instructions for crafting home-made wines, cordials, liqueurs, and related drinks, mainly using fruits, flowers, vegetables, and shrubs found in classic gardens and the countryside. It is likely of interest to those who appreciate historic foodways, DIY brewing, and the preservation or revival of domestic arts from earlier eras. The opening of this recipe collection begins with an introduction recounting the inspiration drawn from a New England village steeped in tradition, where hospitality and the sharing of home-made wines were cornerstones of social life. The compiler shares anecdotes of tasting unusual wines made from humble plants like dandelions and currants, and receiving old, well-guarded recipes from gracious hostesses. Following this anecdotal prelude, the book launches into an extensive series of practical recipes and instructions, with general advice on winemaking techniques, fermentation, racking, bottling, and clarifying drinks. The opening section also presents detailed recipes for various fruit-based wines and cordials—such as apple wine, blackberry wine, and cherry bounce—giving a glimpse of the book’s thorough and hands-on approach to traditional home brewing.
