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.

SALADS AND SALAD
DRESSING. "To make a perfect salad, there should be a spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a wise man for salt, and a madcap to stir the ingredients up, and mix them well together." -- SPANISH PROVERB It is said that "Any fool can make a salad," but all salads are not made by fools. "Mixing" comes by intuition, and the successful cooks use the ingredients, judgment, and their own tastes, rather than the recipe. |
