Delightes for Ladies is a book of recipes and household hints for women, written by Sir Hugh Plat and published in London in 1600 by Peter Short. Its full title is Delightes for ladies: to adorn their persons, tables, closets, and distillatories with beauties, banquets, perfumes and waters. A successful book in its day, some of the recipes have survived to be in relatively common use even 400 years later, in particular the various mixed alcoholic beverages.
