Old-Time Southern Recipes: Food From the Past

by Melissa Ray Davis

Sharing a few interesting recipes from a very old cookbook of traditional Virginia foods, "Cooking of the Old Dominion Prior to 1838. The introduction explains: "let these present day cooks recall that the cook of the plantation days was daily called upon to serve guests in a number which would tax the capacity of many modern hotels." The recipes serve huge quantities and show several anachronisms of the era. published 10 months ago
