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.

WHIPPED POTATOES. MRS. B. B. CLARK.

Instead of mashing in the ordinary way, whip potatoes with a fork until light and dry; then put in a little melted butter, some milk, and salt to taste, whipping rapidly until creamy. Put as lightly and irregularly as you can in a hot dish.
