What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking, Soups, Pickles, Preserves, Etc (Classic Reprint)

The publication of a book on my knowledge and experience of Southern Cooking, Pickle and Jelly Making, has been frequently asked of me by my lady friends and patrons inS an Francisco andO akland, and also by ladies of Sacramento during theS tate Fair in 1879. Not being able to read or write myself, and my husband also having been without the advantages of an education upon whom would devolve the writing of the book at my dictation caused me to doubt whether I would be able to present a work that would give perfect satisfaction. But, after due consideration, I concluded to bring forward a book of my knowledge based on an experience of upwards of thirty-five years in the art of cookingS oups, Gumbos, Terrapin Stews, Meat Stews, Baked andR oast Meats, Pastries, Pies and Biscuits, making Jellies, Pickles, Sauces, I ce-C reams and Jams, preserving Fruits, etc. The book will be found a complete instructor, so that a child can understand it and learn the art of cooking. Respectfully, MRS. ABBY FISHER, Late of Mobile, A la. I take pleasure in referring, by permission, to the following of my friends, namely: WM. F. BLOOD 415 California Street, San Francisco E. M.
