(From eBook):"MOCK-TURTLE SOUP

Take about two pounds of beet, lamb, fowl, pig's-head, or
tongue; any of these kinds of meat will make good soup.
Boil the meat well, take it .out, cut it in small pieces, and
put back into the soup. Season it with one tea-spoonful of
mace, one of cloves, one of cinnamon, one dozen of whole
black pepper, one small onion, chopped fine. Grind the
spices before adding them. Brown one tea-cup of flour to
thicken the soup; burn two table-spoonfuls of sugar, and
add, with six hard-boiled eggs, the yelks being rubbed fine,
and one tea-cup of tomato catchup. Boil all these ingredients
until done, and just before serving add a glass of claret or
other wine. Put the soup on as soon after breakfast as pos-
sible.

GRAVY SOUP.

Boil your soup-meat until tender, then chop it fine. (Beef-
steak "left over" is better than meat, and does not require
to be boiled.) Brown two table spoonfuls of flour with a tea-
spoonful of butter. Cut up two onions into it, add your
meat, and enough of the pot-liquor to moisten it (if beef-steak
is used, moisten with water); let it fry ten minutes, then re-
turn to the soup-pot. Cut up three carrots, three turnips, and
one can of tomatoes, very fine, and put them into the soup.
Boil two eggs hard, and add, a quarter of an hour before
dishing, a salt-spoonful of ground mace and a tea-spoonful
of ground cloves. Before sending to table add a tumbler
and a half of claret. Serve with rice..."

(5 Cooking In Old Créole Days. La Cuisine Créole à L'Usage Des Petits Ménages.

By Célestine Eustis,1904

180 PDF Pages


This is a handsome ebook and offers an excellent overview of Creole cooking in and around New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century. It is considered one of the classic expositions of this cuisine.The ebook itself contains a series of fine illustrations by Harper Pennington, some of street food sellers. The illustrations have tissue guard sheets printed with words (in French) and music. The book is bilingual, a larger section of recipes in English, the rest in French.

And what splendid recipes; every aspect of Creole cuisine is covered: Jumballaya, Oyster and Peanut Soup, Crawfish Bisque, Pot au Feu, New Orleans Veal with Oysters, Couche Couche, Grillades, Gombo Zherbes - and so much more.

A large number of the recipes are attributed, many to African American cooks. As with so many of the books in this collection, careful perusal of the text will offer much pleasure and information.

(6)-What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking SOUPS, PICKLES, PRESERVES, ETC By Abby Fisher,1881 

84 PDF Pages

Awarded Two Medals at the San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Fair, 

1880, for best Pickles and Sauces and best assortment of Jellies and Preserues. 

DIPLOMA AWARDED AT SACRAMENTO STATE FAIR, 1879

This eBook is the third of the five major works by African Americans we have chosen to represent their contributions to American cookery.
That this book was written at all and that it has survived is a marvel. Mrs. Fisher, born a slave, somehow found her way to San Francisco soon after the Civil War and, by dint of talent and hard work, created a life and business there. She and her husband created a business manufacturing and selling "pickles, preserves, brandies, fruits, etc." She was proud of a Diploma awarded at the Sacramento State Fair in 1879 and two medals awarded at the San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Fair, 1880, for best Pickles and Sauces and best assortment of Jellies and Preserves.

Mrs. Fisher seems to have been supported by many of the leading business and professional figures in the San Francisco and Oakland areas. Perhaps it was these citizens who helped her to write and publish her book as both she and her husband were illiterate. We are grateful to whomever it was that helped her to publish these splendid recipes. She hints that they were written "at my dictation." This may account for a few interesting variant spellings and names of dishes.

For example, her Jumberlie (#119, p.57) is obviously Jambalaya; her Circuit Hash (#152, p.69) was probably Succotash; the Carolas (#67, p.31), Crullers; and the Milanaise Sauce used in her recipe for Chicken Salad (#129, p.58) is certainly mayonnaise.

This is truly a Southern cookbook: Beat Biscuits, Plantation Corn Bread, Creole Chow Chow, Sweet Potato Pie, Oyster Gumbo Soup, Ochra Gumbo, Chicken Gumbo, Boiled Turkey, and Jumberlie - A Creole Dish.

PREFACE AND APOLOGY.

The publication of a book on my knowledge and experience of Southern Cooking, Pickle and Jelly Making, has been frequently asked of me by my lady friends and patrons in San Francisco and Oakland, and also by ladies of Sacramento during the State Fair in 1879. Not being able to read or write myself, and my husband also having been without the advantages of an education upon whom would devolve the writing of the book at my dictation caused me to doubt whether I would be able to present a work that would give perfect satisfaction. But, after due consideration, I concluded to bring forward a book of my knowledge based on an experience of upwards of thirty-five years in the art of cooking Soups, Gumbos, Terrapin Stews, Meat Stews, Baked and Roast Meats, Pastries, Pies and Biscuits, making Jellies, Pickles, Sauces, Ice-Creams and Jams, preserving Fruits, etc. The book will be found a complete instructor, so that a child can understand it and learn the art of cooking. Respectfully, MRS. ABBY FISHER,

(7)-The blue grass cook book.by Minnie C. Fox-1917, (New York)

424 PDF Pages!

Here we have an authentic Kentucky cookbook. It went through at least four additional printings (sometimes, revised) after this first printing in 1904.

It is suffused with the essence of Kentucky cooking. There are recipes named Kentucky for Batter Bread, Corn Dodgers, Burgout, Cake, and Chow-Chow. There are recipes named Blue Grass for Roast Quail, Corn Pudding, Pudding, Plum Cake, White Cake, Tomato Pickle, and Pastry. Among the typical Kentucky Beverages can be found: Bourbon Whisky Punch, Blue Grass Apple Toddy, Old-Fashioned Kentucky Toddy, Kentucky Catawba Punch, and Kentucky Champagne Punch. Many recipes are attributed to Marcellus, one of the 10 African-Americans whose photographs grace these pages. These recipes include Marcellus's: Corn Muffins, Nos. 1-2, Cornmeal Batter Cakes, Wheat Muffins, Omelet, Potato Soup, Nos. 1-2, Chocolate Ice Cream, and Peach Ice Cream.

The Blue Grass Hams section includes Baked Ham ("Never bake a ham under a year old"); Col. Wm. Rhodes Estill's Recipe for Curing Ham ("Kill your hogs when the wind is from the northwest"); Ham Cooked in Wine ("Scrub well and soak an old ham in plenty of water for 48 hours"); Kentucky Baked Ham ("Take a good magnolia ham 1 or 2 years old and let it soak 36 hours"); and Sugar-Cured Hams (Let the hams lie in dry salt for 4 weeks after the killing").

This ebook has many other Southern recipes in addition to its specific Kentucky flavor.

(8)La Cuisine Creole  By Lafcadio Hearn,New Orleans 1885

280 PDF Pages!

La Cuisine Creole: A Collection of Culinary Recipes, From Leading Chefs and Noted Creole Housewives, Who Have Made New Orleans Famous for its Cuisine.

This is one of the great classics of Creole cuisine. It was anonymously printed in 1885 but its authorship by the famed writer Lafcadio Hearn is generally accepted.

In his brief but intriguing introduction, Hearn tells us that Creole cookery partakes of the nature of its birthplace - New Orleans - blending the characteristics of the American, French, Spanish, Italian, West Indian and Mexican. That this is true can be ascertained by the range of recipes. There are also obvious influences from Native Americans, African Americans, and others in the American melting pot.

We find Gombo Filee and Okra Gombo, Bouille-abaisse, Grenouilles Frites, Pain Perdu, Sangaree, and a splendid collection of fish, seafood and game recipes. There are also instructions on The Service of Wine and a large number of recipes for drinks and cocktails, including Grand Brule, Gin Fiz, Jamaica Rum Punch, New Orleans Toddy, and four different versions of Pousse Cafe.

This book has been in and out of print from its first publication in 1885. In that same year, a second fine New Orleans cookbook, a charity, was published by the Women's Christian Exchange, the Creole Cookery Book. These two books, along with Celestine Eustis' Cooking in Old Creole Days offer a splendid introduction to one of America's most unique cuisines.


INTRODUCTION 
(From eBook)

 "La Cuisine Creole" (Creole cookery) partakes of the nature of its birthplace New Orleans which is cosmopolitan in its nature, blending the characteristics of the American, French, Spanish, Italian, West Indian and Mexican. In this compilation will be found many original recipes and other valuable ones heretofore un- published, notably those of Gombo file, Bouille-abaisse, Courtbouillon, Jambolaya, Salade a la Eusse, Bisque of Cray-fish a la Creole, Pusse Cafe, Cafe brule, Brulot, together with many confections and delicacies for the sick, including a number of mixed drinks. Much do- mestic contentment depends upon the successful prepa- ration of the meal; and as food rendered indigestible through ignorance in cooking often creates discord and unhappiness, it behooves the young housekeeper to learn the art of cooking. It is the author's endeavor to present to her a number of recipes all thoroughly tested by experience, and em- bracing the entire field of the "Cuisine," set forth in such clear, concise terms, as to be readily understood and easily made practicable, thereby unveiling the mysteries which surround her, upon the entree into the kitchen. Economy and simplicity govern "La Cuisine Creole ' ' ; and its many savory dishes are rendered palat- able more as the result of care in their preparation than any great skill or expensive outlay in the selection of materials. The Creole housewife often makes delicious morceaux from the things usually thrown away by the extravagant servant. She is proud of her art, and de- servedly receives the compliments of her friends. This volume will be found quite different from the average cook-book in its treatment of recipes, and is the only one in print containing dishes peculiar to "la Cuisine Creole."

(9)-Dishes & Beverages of the Old South eBook -By Martha McCulloch-Williams./New York 1913

328 PDF Pages!!

This is a romantic look back at southern foods and foodways. Typical of many other such books following the Civil War, there is a touching, nostalgic (condescending) evocation of the author's Mammy and her cooking.

Painful as some of this is to read today, we find an underlying love and admiration for the Mammy and a feeling of loss for the "good old days." If one can pass by this aspect of the book, one can learn a great deal about an antebellum Southern kitchen.

Every chapter contains good, solid Southern recipes. Many pages are required to discuss all the variations on the theme of the pig and pork: how to select, cure, pickle, make hams, hang hams, smoke, Render Lard, Prepare Fried Hog's Feet, Souse and Hog's Foot Oil and Jelly. We also have Barbecued Rabbit, Squirrel Smothered, Possum Roasted, Fried Chicken, Fig Pudding, Fried Pies, Sweet Potato Custard, Molasses Pie, Blackberry Mush, and Baked Peaches.

There are sections on Creole Cookery, and fascinating discussions on the foods and festivities associated with special occassions - Weddings, Christmas, Birthday Barbecues, and Political Barbecues, among others.

(10)-New Orleans cook book

By New Orleans. Parker Memorial M. E. church, South. [from old catalog]

100 PDF Pages


PREFACE.
"Man may live without books. What is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope. What is hope but deceiving'? He may live without love, What is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining?" The promoters of this modest enterprise hesitate to claim for it that it fills a long- felt want; there are other cook books containing- vastly more information in which the resources and products of the Frigid Zone and the Tropics are drawn on for the purpose of whetting- the human appetite. The sphere of this little book is more limited, but we feel that it will appeal with great force to its limited circle, for it is especially adapted to their wants — the ingredients called for in the recipes given are always to be had in sea- son in our own markets, and many of the appetizing dishes for which New Orleans and Louisiana are noted, are here- in described. It has not been the aim in compiling- these recipes, to tell all we know, or all that our friends know, but out of the g-enerous responses to our requests for "two or three of your very best," we have selected these as the "best of the best." Very few, if any, are original — many have been tried and tested by the mothers and grandmothers of the donors, while others are more modern — thoroughly "up-to-date;" but each recipe carries the enthusiastic re- commendation of her whose name is subscribed thereto, and one has but to read over these names to be convinced that we are not too optimistic in expressing the belief that this collection will please all who make use of it."
