Description

Godey’s Lady’s Book , perhaps the preferred magazine for women in nineteenth-century The united states, had a national circulation of 150,000 all through the 1860s. The recipes (spelled “”receipts””) it published were regularly submitted by women from both the North and the South, and they reveal the wide range of regional cooking that characterized American culture. There’s a remarkable diversity in the recipes, thanks to the largely rural readership of Godey’s Lady’s Book and to the immigrant influence on the country in the 1860s. Fish and game were readily to be had in rural The united states, and the number of seafood recipes testifies to the abundance of the coastal waters and rivers. The country cook used to be a frugal cook, particularly all through wartime, so there are a great many recipes for leftovers and seasonal produce. Along with a wide sampling of recipes that can be utilized today, Civil War Recipes includes information on Union and Confederate army rations, cooking on both homefronts, and substitutions used all through the war by southern cooks.
