Mrs. Hills New Cook Book
Concerning the contents, this cookbook contains the culinary receipts that would have been expected. In contrast to The Kentucky Housewife, there are very few receipts for preserving foods, especially meats, and fewer recipes for wild game. In greater number are the fancier dishes, with a chapter devoted entirely to "Fancy Dishes." In addition to the culinary receipts, like The Kentucky Housewife
, it contains receipts for care of invalids but does contain
considerable more home remedies that the former book. It also
contains a collection of miscellaneous receipts, most of which are
for cleaning purposes or home care. Finally, of interest to anyone
trying to decipher old receipts, there is a short table of weights
and measures.
Price: $14.95

As mentioned in the listing, although this book was
originally published in 1867, most of the receipts -- if not all of
them -- are probably from before the end of the civil war. One other
should also be mentioned. In the fine print on the cover, even though
the author is identified as "Mrs. A.P. Hill," in the fine print
underneath, it further explains "Widow of Hon. Edward Y. Hill, of
Georgia" (not the widow of General A.P. Hill). Is it possible
that, even then "the civil war sold."
