About this book
Maria J. Moss sets household cookery beside verse about appetite, hospitality and the pleasures of the table. Published in Philadelphia in 1864, this cookbook begins with a dedication to the city's Sanitary Fair in support of soldiers and others in need. Its opening advice treats the kitchen as a place where careful storage, cleanliness and attention to supplies can prevent waste.
The practical instructions range from keeping flour dry to preserving herbs for winter. In the vegetable section, Moss discusses freshness, washing, boiling and draining before turning to particular dishes. A salad recipe appears in verse, with potatoes, mustard, oil and boiled eggs among its ingredients, while onions and artichokes receive prose directions. Readers interested in older American kitchens can study both the methods and the assumptions behind household management. The changing rhythm between recipes and poetry also gives the book an unusual way of making food a literary subject.
