Elizabeth80 | 8 andere besprekingen | Jan 7, 2023 | This was an intriguing and amusing book. The recipes! Crazy! Everything seem to take a pound of sugar or salt, or brandy, and it all takes hours and hours to cook. It's amazing how many different dishes they made with the same ingredients. If you wanted to try to recreate them, you could, but the amounts are a bit off and there is no mention of how many each dish feeds - so you might end up with enough stew for a whole plantation! Some of the cakes and roasts look tasty and I might try my hand at making a version more suited to our era. Worth reading!½

kitchengardenbooks | 8 andere besprekingen | May 29, 2009 | 425. This edition not in bibliogs. 'Method is the soul of Management.' The publishers no doubt presented this volume to the thousands of visitors to the Centennial Celebration in their city. Preface is dated 1831, but the printers were not in business at that date. A beautiful production. Classic.
This particular printing could possibly be 1. in conjunction with the Sanitary Fair in Philadelphia 1864, or possibly, 2. The Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia 1876. Requires further research.
