Dishes & Beverages of the Old South

This cookbook gathers recipes for the dishes and drinks of the American South as they were prepared in the late 1800s. Its recipes sit alongside short passages describing household life, hospitality, and the many traditions that shaped Southern kitchens, from the food of the region's first peoples to the cooking of African American households.

The passages give close attention to local detail, so the book reads as a portrait of one place and era as well as a guide to making its food.
