Samuel Pegge der Ältere war ein Antiquar. Er veröffentlichte eine wichtige Studie über die römischen Straßen von Derbyshire sowie Notizen zu lokalen Wörtern und Redewendungen, die sein Sohn, ebenfalls Samuel, fortsetzte. Seine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die historischen und linguistischen Aspekte der Region.
Forme of Curry was the name given by Samuel Pegge to a roll of cookery written by the Master Cooks of King Richard II of England. This name has since come into usage for almost all versions of the original manuscript. It is by far the most well known medieval guide to cooking. The roll was written in late Middle English on vellum and details some 205 recipes (although the exact number of recipes varies slightly between different versions).
