• Keep The book was popular enough to justify a 2nd edition nearly 20 years after the first and has been the subject of many published reviews, e.g.
  • M. (22 June 1901). "Cooks in Council". The Speaker: The Liberal Review: 342.
  • "Other New Books". Literature: 540. 22 June 1901.
  • "London Letter". New York Times Saturday Review. 13 July 1901. p. BR16.
  • "Cook Books". Book News. 20: 324. December 1902.
  • Kirkham, Victoria (2012). "The Cook's Decameron, or, Boccaccio to the Rescue of the Dull British Diet". Boccaccio in America: 2010 International Boccaccio Conference. Longo. pp. 31–65. doi:10.1400/191341.
  • Spieler, Marlena (2018). A Taste of Naples: Neapolitan Culture, Cuisine, and Cooking. Rowman & Littlefield. p. 194. ISBN 9781442251267.

Given that so little content from that time period has been digitized, it's fair to assume there's a lot more than just these, but the chapter from the 2010 Boccaccio Conference ought to be nearly sufficient on its own to establish notability per WP:NBOOK. pburka (talk) 22:08, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
