Recipes, 1894 style
The recipes in this collection are representative of cooking in America in the
late 19th century, and the compilation of a cookbook shows the ways in which
women were beginning to organize and act both within their traditional roles and
outside of traditional expectations. The recipes are presented exactly as
written in 1894, and may not conform to current nutritional or food preparation
standards. Try at your own risk.

BEETS.
Boil the beets in salted water until tender. When cold, skin; cut in thin slices, and dress with white pepper, salt, oil, or butter, and vinegar; or pour over them a French dressing, and toss with a silver fork until every piece is coated with the dressing.
