Abstract:
Single volume recipe book (46 pages), containing dessert recipes. Includes several variations of lemon pie, ice cream, cottage pudding, custards, and cakes. The volume also contains bread recipes including French rolls, biscuits, and Lost Bread, and a recipe each for an egg omelet and tomato soup. Most of the recipes attributed to people or the newspaper. Several recipes are written in a different hand--four from 1886 a "North Carolina Receipts Fried Apple Pie," attributed to Mrs. Carey L.
