Excerpt from Virginia Cookery-BookIT is not the aim of this little book to furnish an elab orate treatise on cookery, or to supplant any other author ity on the subject. But persons who desire to excel in this sphere do not like to be tied down to any one par ticular method, or at least take an interest, and find their advantage, in counselling with their neighbors concom iug the economy of household management. In the sim plest and most unpretendin g manner, two Virginian la dies would herein lay before their sisters a collection of recipes, such as have been constantly used in the fami lies oi their State for many years back, and tested by the experience of several generations. It was thought doubly expedient to make such a collection of recipes at this time, when, old domestic institutions having been done away with, there is danger that the composition of many an excellent dish may become forgotten lore. Enough will it be for the Virginia Cookery-book to take its place on the hou se-keeper's pantry shelf along-side of the simi lar works of Miss Leslie, Marion Harland, Mrs. Hender son, and Mrs. Hale, to be referred to, if not on every occa sion, at least frequently. All that its compilers promise is to be found trustworthy in the limited field which they have undertaken to occupy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
