Recipes - 1894 Style
~ from Jone Johnson Lewis, Women's History GuideRecipes, 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.

"We may live without poetry, music, and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks."
