There is a very mistaken notion at the North and West, about the domestic life of Southerners, Southern women especially.
The common idea is, that we are entirely destitute of practical knowledge of household affairs. This is a great mistake. The contrary is true.
A Southern woman must know how to prepare any dish, for she finds no cooks made to orderthey must be of her own training, in the minutest particulars of every department.
Northern housekeepers, in all the large towns and cities, do not have to depend on their own skill for the delicacies of every de- scription that make up the dainties of the table, but we Southern housewives, even in our larger towns and cities, all doand North- ern visitors stand aghast at the amount of labor summoned up in the filling of our store-rooms, and it is difficult to convince them that we trust these preparations to no one else.
I found every cook-book 1 took up so deficient in economy, that I determined to make one for my own guidance, mdash the best method of enriching a larder, as well as of insuring success.
Hence, the exactness of measures given. My book is entirely practical, mdash nothing else. It contains no theoretic dissertations on the culinary art, but is made up of Receipts which have been my daily assistants for twelve years, in the management of my house, and the preparation of various dishes served for large and small companies. It treats of the preparation of
Soups, Fish, Meats, Poultry, etc.Vegetables, Pickles, Cat sups, etc.Bread, Pastry, Padding, etc.Cakes, Preserves, Jellies,.Syrups, Creams, Cordials,
with a few miscellaneous receipts added, relating to care of stores
and house generally. A regular breakfast-cake of George Washing-
ton's, obtained from a relative of his, in Virginia, will attract great
attention.
I am largely indebted to an -English friend for many of my prep-
arations, and, after following these directions for twelve years, can
safely recommend them. Of course, many of our dishes are pecu-
liar to the " South," as the various preparations of Rice, Corn Meal,
and even our Bread-making. Our method of preparing Meats is
more like that employed in French cookery.
At the repeated solicitations of friends, living in all parts of
the " South," I have decided to give this private experience of
twelve years' daily practice to the public, and ask those who are
interested, to look with favor on Dixie Cookery.
