Southern Cooking by Henrietta Stanley Dull
First published in 1928, when its author was sixty-eight years old, this comprehensive collection of recipes chronicled post-Civil War Southern cooking and set a new standard for food writing. In 1941, Mrs. Dull expanded the collection to 1300 recipes. This reprint of the 1941 edition includes an index of the added recipes, my brief biography of its author, and historical commentary.
