Recipes in those days were known as "receipts" They even got it right in "Downton Abbey" where a visitor brings a "receipt"of her favourite dish for the cook, who, suffering from eye problems can't read it ..... and drama ensues. I'm sure Jamie know that.

I meant a handwritten RECIPE book. I very much doubt Jamie Oliver would get over exited about receiving a receipt book.
