5.0 out of 5 stars
Every cook should read this.,
This review is from: Housekeeping in Old Virginia (Paperback)
I am enjoying reading about how people used to cook in the past.
It even tells you how to roast coffee and how to blend tea. Not to mention the "beaten bisquits".

Ideal Purchase,
Interesting historical cookbook that gives you an idea of household customs in the 1800's. This book includes advertisements and remedies of the period. A good collage of American history.
