Tjis is an excellent addition to any cookbook rack.There are very easy to use recipes in this book,even for today.it writes in 1800's grammar,but is still an easy read.It has already helped me make pear preserves,and Im sure it will help me more in the future!

This review is from: The Virginia Housewife: Or Methodical Cook: A Facsimile of an Authentic Early American Cookbook (Paperback)
I bought this cook book for one recipe...the oldest known fried chicken recipe in the U.S. Upon reading the other recipes I am quite entertained by the writing and explanation of the recipes. Keep in mind, these recipes are from the late 1700's-early 1800's. Teaspoons, tablespoons, and other modern measurements were not used. That's half the fun in figuring out these recipes! I have yet to make my fried chicken or any other recipe from the book since my wife took the book to her office to show it off. If nothing else, it's a great historical publication of the way Americans used to prepare food. Highly recommend!
