THIRD AND GREEN STREETS. LOUISVILLE, KY.
PREFACE.
TN issuing a second and enlarged edition of the Columbia
X Cook Book, the Ladies' Aid Society of the First Baptist
Church of Columbia, Tennessee, has endeavored to respond
to the earnest and urgent request of an appreciative public.
The first edition of this little book, which was published a
few years since for the benefit of the Church, under the auspices
and management of Misses Florence Sheppard and Sadie
Kerr, met with unstinted praise and approval wherever it
chanced to go, yielding a revenue to a worthy cause, for which
they must ever feel profoundly grateful.
It is the desire of the Ladies' Aid Society, in launching this
second edition for public favor, that it be known that no effort
or labor, however arduous, has been spared in an honest en-
deavor to make this issue surpass in every respect the former
one.
It is also desired that this edition, like the first, be respect-
fully dedicated to the Mothers, Wives, and Daughters of Co-
lumbia, Tenn., who have so kindly and cheerfully responded
to our petition for the information and subject-matter contained
in this book.
The many Recipes given have not been gathered at random
from doubtful sources, but represent the actual experiences and
practical tests of the many grand old housekeepers of our town,
PREFACE.
who give them to you over their own signatures. A recipe is
only valuable from being tried and approved, and it is a self-evident
fact that even a single dish spoiled, resulting from any culinary
failure in attempting to compound the worthless recipes which
are daily bandied about in newspapers and pamphlets, may be
more than an equivalent in money to the price of this book.
It is hoped that our efforts in compiling this edition may meet
with generous judgment and consideration, and that it may
serve to lefssen in some degree the innumerable, household cares
and perplexities which sometimes overshadow even the most
successful and happy homes. Should it do thus, and obtain
the aim or end which prompted its publication, we shall not
only feel more than repaid for our labors, but ever grateful to-
ward a kind and generous people.
Respectfully,
The Ladies' Aid Society,
First Baptist Church.

SOUPS.
White Broth. — Two large whole and well scraped carrots,
one large whole well peeled turnip, one large whole peeled
onion, one parsley root, two or three leaves of celery. Select
a good knuckle of fine white veal, put in vessel and cover com-
pletely with cold water, adding one tablespoonful of salt, and
allow it to come to a boil; skim as scum rises (this is very im-
portant) ; then add the above ingredients and boil slowly for
about six hours on back of stove. Strain through cheese-cloth
nto stone crock. mrs. w. b. Harrison.
White Soup. — Put on to boil in cold water one chicken (a
fat hen is best) cut into joints. Add one tablespoon salt, six
pepper corns, one teaspoon of chopped onions, two tablespoons
chopped celery. When tender remove chicken, which can be
used for croquettes or other dishes, strain stock, and for one
quart use one pint of heated milk or cream ; add one table-
spoon each of flour and melted butter. Pour stock in slowly
and cook until slightly thickened; then strain it into a bowl in
which an egg has been slightly beaten; strain again.
MRS. G. T. HUGHES.

milk. Cook ten minutes. Mash celery in the water in which
it has been cooked, and stir into boiling milk. Add butter, and
season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain and serve imme-
diately. The flavor is improved by adding a cupful of whipped
cream when the soup is in tureen. mrs. w. p. morgan.
Black Soup {excellent). — Put a knuckle of veal, beef, or a
turkey frame on to boil about two hours before dinner. Slice
some potatoes, carrots, and onions, which should be put into the
pot after it has boiled an hour. Then add three tablespoons of
browned flour, two of sugar, one-half teaspoon each of allspice,
cloves, nutmeg, and black pepper, one cup of catsup, and a
mall bunch of thyme. A few moments before taking up add
a wine glass of port wine. mrs. a. m. hughes.
Cheap Soup. — Put into as much water as you will need for
soup, a small piece of fried beefsteak. After boiling add four

sticks of macaroni, half teacup of rice, one or two onions cut
fine, and a small can of tomatoes. Boil till thick enough and
add pepper and salt to taste. Serve very hot.
MRS. J. M. SBEPPAED.
Tomato Soup. — Place over the fire one quart of peeled
tomatoes and a pinch of soda. Stew them soft and add one
quart of boiling milk, seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter the
size of an egg, and stir in a handful of rolled crackers. Canned
tomatoes will take the place of fresh ones. If it be desired to
remove the seed, strain. mrs. w. c. Harrison.
Oyster Soup. — One cup sweet milk, one cup cold water,
two handfuls cracker dust, juice of two cans oysters; season
with salt and pepper. A small lump butter. Boil the above
about twenty minutes and add oysters. The canned oysters
should be washed and picked. mrs. d. w. leneaye.
Green Corn Soup. — Take six well-filled ears of tender
corn, run a sharp knife down the rows and split each grain ;
then with the back of the knife scrape from the large to the
small end of the ear. press out the pulp, leaving the hulls on
the cob. Break the cobs, if long, put in cold water sufficient
to cover, and boil half an hour. Strain off the water, put the
corn water on again, and when boiling add the corn pulp and
cook fifteen minutes, or until the raw taste is destroyed. Rub
through a rather coarse colander, add salt and a pint of hot
milk; if too thin, thicken with a little flour. A teaspoon of
sugar may be added if preferred. A small quantity of cooked
macaroni makes a very pretty and palatable addition to the
soup. The soup is also excellent flavored with celery.
MRS. W. B. HARRISON.
Gumbo File. — {Mrs. Jefferson Davis' .Recipe.) — One old
chicken cut into joints and bits; the bones broken, the head
and legs omitted; one dozen large oysters with their liquor;
three large slices of unboiled ham ; half a large onion cut into
slices; a bunch of sweet herbs tied in muslin; a carrot sliced

small, four cloves, half dozen allspice, three pinches of mace,
a pinch of nutmeg, two-thirds of a teaspoon of salt (more if the
ham has been boiled previously) ; a pinch of cayenne pepper,
a little more white pepper, one tablespoon of file. Fry the
chicken to a light brown; put in twice as much water as the
amount of soup required ; add the seasoning, the ham, the herbs,
and simmer for several hours.
For a 6 o'clock dinner, put the gumbo over the fire at 1
o'clock. When the chicken is cooked to shreds, take out the
muslin bags of herbs and spice. Put in the oysters, with their
liquor, just long enough to plump them. An even tablespoon
of the file should be stirred in after the pot has been taken from
the fire. The file must not boil. This course must be eaten
with rice, a tablespoon being first put in the soup plate and the
gumbo poured over it.
File is composed of the young leaves of the sassafras, just
as they have attained their maturity, but before they have
reached their darkest shade of green. They are dried in the
shade by the Indians, and finally pulverized. File may be
obtained from the New Orleans French Market.
MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Cream of Corn Soup. — Put one pint of grated corn over
the fire to stew for twenty minutes, strain, and add salt and
pepper to taste, three tablespoons of butter or two pints of
chicken or veal stock. Have ready one quart of boiling milk
thickened with one tablespoon of flour and a little cold milk
rubbed smooth; add the corn, and cook together one minute;
take from the fire, add the well-beaten yolks of two eggs ; stir
quickly and serve. mrs. john trotwood moore.
Cream of Asparagus Soup. — Six teaspoons of flour and two
ounces of butter; mix together in a saucepan, then add three
quarts of white broth ; put in a bunch of asparagus, a table-
spoon of salt, twenty whole peppers, and boil thoroughly for
about forty minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, add one cup
of cream and serve. mrs. w. b. harrison.
COLUMBIA COOK BOOK. 11
Oyster Gumbo, or Gumbo File Ingredients. — One grown
chicken, four medium-sized onions, heaping tablespoon of
browned flour, heaping teaspoon of file, large tablespoon of
butter, nine quarts of water, fifty oysters, pepper and salt to
taste. Cut up the chicken and fry it; then put it in the kettle
with the water and sliced onions, and boil slowly about five
hours, reducing it to half. Take out the bones, leaving the
meat, and thicken with flour. Add the file and oysters, and
cook just enough to curl the lips of the oysters as in other
oyster soup. Stir in the butter just before serving. Do not add
any more water, as it injures the fine flavor of the soup. This
is a favorite in the South, and is a most excellent, rich soup.
File is a preparation of sassafras made by the Indians, and can
be had in all large Southern cities. miss annie avalker.
Cream of Tomato Soup. — Put one pint of tomatoes over
the fire to stew, add a bay leaf, a blade of mace, and, if con-
venient, a sprig of parsley; let stew for fifteen minutes. Have
ready a quart of boiling milk, to which has been added a table-
spoon of butter and a thickening made of one tablespoon of
flour and a little cold milk. Strain the tomatoes into a separate
pan, add one-fourth teaspoon of soda and one teaspoon of
sugar, now add tomatoes to the boiling milk, salt to taste, and
do not allow the soup to cook after mixing the milk and toma-
toes. Half a pint of chicken or veal stock added to the milk
is a wonderful improvement. It is also more delicate if a spoon
of whipped cream is dropped into each bowl when served.
MRS. JOBN TROT WOOD MOORE.
Turtle Bean Soup. — One quart of black beans, put to soak
over night in cold water. The next morning drain and add
three pints of fresh water, cook gently for four and one-half
hours; add pepper, salt, and a little cloves while cooking, and
put in a little meat either cooked or uncooked. When done
strain thoroughly; place a half of large lemon and one hard
boiled egg cut in thin slices, and small pieces of toasted bread
on bottom of tureen, and upon this pour the soup.

Creole Soup. — One quart can of tomatoes, three pints of
soup stock, one large onion, three slices of carrot. Cook for
one-half hour, then turn into a strainer and rub all through,
return the strained mixture to the fire and add one gill of rice.
Rub one tablespoon of curry powder, one-eighth of a teabpoon
of cayenne pepper, one tablespoon of salt, two tablespoons but-
ter, one tablespoon flour, and one tablespoon sugar together and
stir into the soup. Cook all together for half an hour longer,
then serve. mrs. c. w. bradshaw.
Consomme. — Into a frying pan put two tablespoons of but-
ter, let melt, and add four tablespoons of minced onion, two
tablespoons of minced carrot, two tablespoons minced celery;
let cook slowly for twenty minutes, then draw over to a hotter
part of the stove, and stir until a light brown. Add this to two
and a half quarts of hot water in which a fowl has been boiled.
Tie in a netting bag one-half teaspoon of whole black pepper,
one sprig each of parsley, thyme, and savory, one bay leaf, one
leaf of sage, two whole cloves, one small piece of stick cinna-
mon, one tiny bit of whole mace, and put it in the boiling soup,
and boil very slowly for one hour, then add one level tablespoon
of salt. Strain through a cloth and set away to cool. When
cold, skim off all particles of fat, and the soup will be ready to
be heated to the boiling point and served as a simple consomme,
or it may have any kind of a garnish added to it.
MRS. C. W. BRADSHAW.

Irish Potato Soup. — Chop fine one large onion, put in a
pan with one large tablespoon butter, and let simmer about five
minutes. Pour into this one quart sweet milk, and thicken with
mashed potatoes run through a sieve.
MRS. ROBT. L. M'KINNEY.
New Orleans Okra Gumbo. — Cut up a chicken and fry
with two or three slices of ham or breakfast bacon, with a
spoon of lard, a spoon of flour, an onion chopped fine, all put
in at the same time. Fry brown ; then put into the soup pot,
add as much boiling water as necessary for the quantity of soup
you wish to make. Add two quarts of okra cut in small dice.
Put on early and boil slowly until dinner time; season with salt,
pepper, and bay leaf. Serve very hot with rice.
MRS. E. H. HATCHER.
A Garnish for Soup. — Two well beaten eggs, to which add
one-quarter teaspoon of salt and five teaspoons of cold con-
somme. Butter a cup and put the mixture in it; place the cup
in a pan of tepid water, set in a moderate oven and cook for
about a half hour; when thoroughly done, take from oven and
let get cold. Turn out on a plate, cut in cubes, and place in
soup tureen just before pouring in the soup.
MRS. C. W. BRADSHAW.
OYSTERS.
Oyster Stew. — For two dozen oysters, one quart fresh
sweet milk, one lump butter size of an egg, one-half pint cracker
dust, one-half teaspoon salt and pepper. After milk has boiled,
add oyster liquor, then pour over oysters.
MRS. H. P. FIGURES.
Fried Oysters. — Draw liquor from large oysters, dredge
well in sifted meal, and place them in a skillet of hot lard or
butter; do not crowd; season with pepper and salt, and turn as
14 COLUMBIA COOK BOOK.
soon as light brown. Serve while hot. The skillet should be
washed often while frying, as the lard burns easily, and this
would injure the flavor of the oysters.
MRS. J. M. SHEPPARD.
Grilled Oysters. — Drain oysters in a colander, and drop
them with a little butter into a hot pan on the range. They will
ruffle in a few moments ; then toss them lightly about that they
may ruffle and plump on both sides. On a platter arrange toast
which has been browned and nicely buttered. On each slice of
toast place a small heap of oysters which have been kept hot;
then pour over all the liquid and melted butter seasoned with a
pinch of pepper and salt. mrs. robert pillow.
Scalloped Oysters. — Toast slices of bread, and butter well
on both sides, with which line baking dish. Pour in oysters
after seasoning with butter, pepper, and salt; sprinkle bread
crumbs on top, and bake fifteen minutes. Flavor with two
tablespoons of sherry or grape wine. mrs. h. p. figures.
Oyster Cocktail. — One quart small oysters with liquor,
one teacup of tomato catsup, one tablespoon Worcester sauce,
one-fourth teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ginger, and allspice,
a little pepper, a few drops of Tobasco sauce, a little salt, juice
of one lemon, one tablespoon Durkee's challenge sauce. Oys-
ters must be ice cold. mrs. robt. l. m'kinney.
Fine Oyster Pie. — Make a rich puff paste, and after having
greased the baking dish, line with paste. Then season one
quart of oysters with pepper and salt, one half pound butter,
and half a teacup bread crumbs. Put this in the oysters (with-
out the liquor) and cover with paste (in strips). This pie will
bake in one-half hour. If in baking the crust browns too fast
put over it a paper doubled; if it looks too dry, pour over it
some of the liquor, which must be boiled. Serve immediately,
as paste is better when just from the oven.
MRS. S. A. ADKISSON.
COLUMBIA COOK BOOK. 15
Oyster Cocktail. — Put crushed ice in champagne glasses,
five or six oysters on top ; pour over them a dressing of tomato
catsup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, a few drops of
Tobasco sauce or cayenne pepper, and salt.
MRS. ROBERT PILLOW.
Fresh Oysters (delicious). — Drop into boiling water and let
them remain until plump. Lift them out with perforated ladle
and place on hot dish. Season with salt, butter, and pepper.
Invalids should not eat the hard part of the oyster.
MRS. S. T. MAXWELL.
FISH.
Baked Fish. — Prepare a fine red snapper for baking. Make
a dressing as follows : One pint grated bread crumbs, three
boiled potatoes mashed fine while hot, one teaspoon salt, one-
half teaspoon black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper, one-
half teaspoon ground cloves, with a small onion, minced very
fine ; a small lump of butter and one-half teaspoon celery seed.
Mix the above ingredients, and put into a hot skillet with a
tablespoon of lard; then stir in yolks of two eggs, well beaten,
and brown nicely. Lard the inside of fish with finely cut strips
of ham fat or nice bacon. Add one tablespoon of Worcester
sauce to the dressing ; then stuff fish, sew up with a large needle,
dredge with brown flour, and add one cup of water. Bake
until light brown; then remove from the oven, and pour over
it one-half wineglass each of Madeira and Port.
MRS. E. LITTLEFIELD.
Fish. — Remove the scales, cut off the head, and take a
sharp knife, run it along close to the backbone on each side,
and open the fish out flat. You can, by so doing, be rid of
so much bone ; then either halve or quarter, as the size may
COLUMBIA COOK BOOK.
require. Wash the pieces, salt, pepper, and roll in flour ; fry
in the usual way. It does not require so much lard.
MRS. BEECHER.
Baked Fish with Oysters. — Remove skin, head, and bone
from a three-pound haddock. Rub well with salt and lemon
juice, lay one-half on a greased baking sheet and cover thickly
with oysters cleaned and dipped in seasoned and buttered
cracker crumbs, lay on the other half of the fish, brush with
beaten egg, cover with seasoned and buttered crumbs, and bake
three-quarters of an hour. Serve with Holandaise sauce. It
is nice to bake fish on a fish sheet; if not, bake on cotton cloth
which extends above the edges of the pan, as it is easier to
remove whole to the platter. For one cup of crumbs use a salt-
spoon of salt and one-third of a cup of melted butter, a fourth
of a saltspoon of pepper. The crumbs should be rather coarse.
This is very nice. mrs. r. h. ogilvie.
FISH AND MEAT SAUCES.
Cream or White Sauce. — One pint milk, two tablespoons
butter, four tablespoons flour, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half
teaspoon white pepper, one-half teaspoon celery salt. Cook
just a little, stirring constantly. This is delightful with salads,
baked and boiled fish. mrs. ii. p. figures.
Sauce Tartar. — To half a pint (more or less, as the occa-
sion demands) of mayonnaise, mix two tablespoons of capers,
one small shallot or quarter of small onion, two gherkins or two
ounces of cucumber pickle, and one tablespoon of parsley, all
chopped very fine. The sauce will keep a long time, and is
delicious for fried fish, fried oysters, boiled tongue, or whenever
an appetizing dressing is desired. Drain the capers, and do
not put too much vinegar in the mayonnaise, as the pickles and
capers are both sour. mrs. w. b. harrison.
COLUMBIA COOK BOOK.
Tartar Sauce for Fish. — One tablespoon sugar, one table
spoon lemon juice, one teaspoon Worcester sauce. Put together
in a bowl over hot water. One-fourth cup of browned butter
strained into the liquid. mrs. s. t. maxwell.
Mint Sauce for Lamb. — Four tablespoons chopped mint,
two tablespoons sugar, one-forth pint vinegar. Place together
in bowl and let remain an hour before using.
MRS. J. M. SHEPPARD.
Sauce for Roast Beef. — Fry half a cup of finely chopped
onion in one tablespoon butter five minutes without browning,
then add one tablespoon flour; stir until light brown, add half
cup vinegar, one and one-half cups water, one bay leaf, six
whole cloves, same of allspice and whole peppers, season with
one teaspoon salt, half teaspoon pepper, one tablespoon sugar,
and half a teaspoon beef extract; stir and cook ten minutes,
then rub sauce through a sieve and pour over the meat.
MRS. J. W. SHELTON.
Horse'Radish Sauce. — One teacup of grated horse radish,
one teaspoon of sugar, mixed with sufficient cream to make a
sauce. • mrs. w. b. harrison.
Holandaise Sauce. — Cream half a cup of butter, add the
yolks of two eggs, and beat well; then add the juice of half a
lemon, one saltspoon of salt, and a few grains of cayenne.
Just before serving, add slowly one-third of a cup of boiling
water and cook over hot water till slightly thick. This sauce,
if well made, is particularly nice to serve with fish.
MRS. R. IJ. OOILYIE.
Chili Sauce. — Twenty-five ripe tomatoes, eight onions, four
green peppers, four large cups vinegar, five tablespoons sugar,
four spoons salt, one spoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Cook tomatoes, onions, and pepper for a short while, then strain
out seed. Boil all together to consistency of cream. Seal up
while hot. mrs. j. k. orr.
18 COLUMBIA COOK BOOK.
Cranberry Sauce. -»-Carefully remove all soft berries, and
wash thoroughly. To one and a half pounds fruit stew in one
pint of water for about fifteen minutes, or until quite soft; then
strain through wire sieve, and add three-fourths pound of sugar,
stirred into the pulp. Serve after it cools.
MRS. W. B. HARRISON.
Mayonnaise (No. i). — Yolks of three raw eggs; beat in very
slowly, drop by drop, a half of a half-pint bottle of olive oil.
Add one tablespoon of mixed mustard, one and one-half tea-
spoons salt, one large tablespoon Tarragon vinegar, two table-
spoons cider vinegar.
Mayonnaise (No. 2). — Put yolks of two eggs into a bowl
with two saltspoons of salt, and beat until light. Then add a
teaspoon of dry mustard and beat again. Then olive oil, drop
by drop, till the mixture is thickening, then a few drops of vine-
gar and of lemon juice. Continue this process until the egg
has absorbed two gills of oil, and finish by adding a very little
cayenne pepper. mrs. c. a. forgey.
Mayonnaise. — Yolks of three eggs, one teaspoon salt, one
teaspoon sugar, one-half teaspoon mustard, pinch of cayenne
pepper, two tablespoons vinegar, juice of one lemon, one pint
Oil. MRS. ROBERT PILLOW.
Mrs. Lincoln's Mayonnaise Dressing. — Yolks of four
eggs, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon mustard, one-fourth
cup cream or milk, two-thirds cup vinegar, one-half cup butter.
Put vinegar and butter together and bring it to a boil, then add
the other ingredients and stir briskly; when it thickens take it

a teaspoon of salt and one-eighth of pepper; add olive oil or
melted butter to taste. mrs. C. ay. bradsiiaw.
Drawn Butter. — Rub together one tablespoon of flour and
one-half cup butter, put into a sauce pan and add one cup

water; cover and set in a large vessel of boiling water; season
with salt and pepper; keep moving the dish, and when thor-
oughly mixed take off. Do not let boil. Using milk instead of
water makes it a cream sauce. MRS. W. b. harrtson.
GAME AND POULTRY.
Baked Turkey. — In selecting a turkey choose a plump one,
weighing not more than nine or ten pounds. If for a large din-
ner party, two such fowls are better than one very large one,
their flavor being more delicate. Pick the turkey without scald-
ing, removing each feather carefully; then pour over it boiling
water to plump it, after which singe with a piece of lighted
writing paper, so that no particle of down remains. Wash
thoroughly inside and out, wipe dry, rub with salt, and let
remain over night (longer would do no harm). When ready to
cook, rinse thoroughly, and rub inside and out with salt and
pepper. P.lace in pan, filling the turkey with boiling water.
Anoint the outside with lard to prevent blistering, and baste at
frequent intervals with its own liquor. Leave turkey in the
oven till almost done, and then fill with the following :
dressing. — Equal quantities of biscuit and egg-bread crumbs,
intermixed with small bits of butter and pepper (in case the
egg-bread is omitted, use the yolks of hard-boiled eggs mashed
fine with plain cornbread and biscuit). Over this pour a suffi-
cient quantity of warm water to soften the mixture. Any pre-
ferred seasoning may be used, such as sage, etc. Add some of
the liquor from around the turkey to the dressing, making it
rather thin. Place a small quantity of lard or butter in a vessel
on the stove, in which fry dressing to a delicate brown. Re-
move turkey, and fill, making small balls of remaining dressing,
and place around the dish. Return the fowl to the stove,
dredge with a little flour, and let bake a rich brown. After
removing turkey, place pan back on stove, adding a little hot
20 COLUMBIA COOK BOOK.
water, and allowing it to boil before stirring in browned flour,
until the gravy is of the consistency of cream. This should
be served with cranberry sauce. mrs. o. c. owen.
To Prepare a Turkey for Roasting. — Cut the head of
the turkey off with a sharp ax or hatchet; tie the feet together
and hang it up to bleed well. Hanging is done to prevent the
turkey from bruising itself. Pick dry, without any water. Wash
it thoroughly inside and out with cold water. Slit a place in
the back of the neck to remove the craw. This is a great
improvement to the looks of the turkey when stuffed- and on
table. When finished, place it in a large kitchen vessel, a-
wooden bowl or tray, or a large pan. Have ready a teakettle
of boiling water, pour it over every part of the turkey. The
effect will be seen immediately. This is called plumping. Hang
it in a cold place for days if necessary. Never use salt, until
you put it on to roast. mrs. octavine alison.
Oyster Dressing for Turkey. — One pound of bread
crumbled fine, and two stalks of celery chopped fine, one-half
pound' melted butter, salt and pepper to taste. Add to this
two quarts of oysters strained from liquor and carefully picked.
When oysters are added to bread crumbs, add enough liquor to
moisten. Fill turkey and baste with equal parts liquor of oys-
ters and essence of turkey. mrs. Robert pillow.
Oyster Dressing for Turkey. — One pound of fine bread

ready a meat dish with plenty of butter (melted), salt and pep-
per to taste. Saturate the chicken well with the gravy, and
serve very hot. mrs. c. t. looney.
Broiled Chicken. — Prepare chickens by cutting open the
back, soak half an hour in cold water, then rub with salt, and
place them, with skin down, in a skillet of moderately hot lard
or butter. A weight (a smoothing iron will do) should be placed,
on them to make them flat. Turn often, replacing weight.
Cook about one-half hour if chickens are large; when done
pour melted butter and pepper over them, and serve while hot.
" AUNT MARIA."

the form of square on hot plate, and fill the center with celeried
chicken. mrs. john moore, jr.,
Fried Chicken. — After the chicken is properly prepared,
let stand in salt awhile. If too salt, wash and drain; each piece
should be rolled in flour and peppered. Have lard, about half
cup, real hot; turn frequently till well done; drain off all but
a small quantity of fat, and pour in one-half cup hot water.
Cover closely and steam for five or ten minutes.
MRS. BEECHER.

cover with oiled paper, and cook until congealed. Turn out,
serve hot with white sauce. mrs. Robert pillow.
To Broil Birds. — Parboil till tender, using as little water
as possible, and have only enough in the vessel after the birds
are tender to make gravy. Then add butter, a little vinegar,
and pepper, put inside a hot stove, and baste frequently till
browned. mas. j. d. barrow.
Quail on Toast. — Dry pick them, singe, and split down
back; soak in salt water five or ten minutes, dry with cloth;
lard them with bacon or butter, and rub them with salt. Put
on broiler and turn often, dipping them a time or two in melted
butter. About twenty minutes is sufficient to cook them. Have
as many slices of toast ready as you have birds, and serve a
bird, breast upward, on each slice. Squabs, or any small ten-
der bird, may be served by this recipe, mrs. s. t. maxwell.

with butter and a little flour. When done, take from pan, pour
off the fat, and to the brown gravy add chopped giblets, and
thicken with flour. Serve with currant jelly. Apple sauce and
onion sauce should accompany roast goose.
Roast Duck. — Ducks are dressed and stuffed in the same
manner as above. Serve with currant jelly, apple sauce, and
green peas. mrs. j. m. sheppard.

the water out and put the bread in a basin ; add a quarter of a
pound of sausage meat or cold minced veal or chicken, one
beaten egg, a small onion minced and fried in butter, salt, pep-
per, and nutmeg ; a tablespoon of butter, melted.

EGGS.
Eggs are one of the most nutritious articles of food. One
should be careful to use only such as are fresh. To test eggs,
hold to the light; if transparent, or the yolk can be traced, it is
good. Another way to test is to place in water; if they sink
they are fresh, if they rise or turn on point they are stale.
When the whites of eggs only are needed, the yolks may be
kept several days by dropping into cup of cold water.
Put eggs into boiling water if you wish the whites set ; boil
three minutes, the yolks will set in five minutes ; for hard-boiled,
ten minutes. mrs. w. b. Harrison.
Steamed Eggs. — Butter patty pans or egg cups, break an
egg in each one and place them in steamer; let them steam
until the whites are well cooked. mrs. w. b. harrison.
Baked Eggs. — Break as many eggs as you wish for your
meal on a platter; sprinkle over with salt and pepper, cover
with cream, set in oven and bake from five to eight minutes.
MRS. W. B. HARRISON.
Eggs in Cream Sauce. — Boil six eggs slowly for twenty
minutes. Remove the shells, cut eggs in slices and place on
dish ready for use. Melt in chafing dish one tablespoon of
butter, lift from flame and rub smooth into it one tablespoon of
flour; gradually add one small cup of stock and one of milk,
dash of salt and pepper. Stir over the fire until the sauce
thickens, add the eggs, and when heated through serve. (Diced
potatoes may be used this way.)
MRS. JOHN TROTWOOD MOORE.
Eggs with Cheese. — Two hard-boiled eggs, one-half cup
grated cheese, one teaspoon of butter, one-half cup of milk,
one teaspoon of flour, salt and pepper. Make white sauce of
butter, flour, milk, salt and pepper, then add to sauce the
grated cheese and eggs chopped fine. Serve on buttered toast.

MRS. A. J. NICHOLS.
VEGETABLES.
Vegetables. — It requires care and skill to cook vegetables
properly, so they will retain their natural flavor. It is best to
cook them in as little water as possible. They contain so much
water that it is not necessary to add large quantities to cook
them. Vegetables to be cooked by boiling should be put into
boiling water; as soon as the boiling begins, keep cooking utensil
closely covered. If water should be added, let it be boiling hot
Steaming or baking is preferable for most vegetables, because
their finer flavors are more easily retained. Particularly is this
true of tubers. The time required for cooking depends much
upon the age and freshness of the vegetables, as well as the
method of cooking employed. Wilted vegetables require a
longer time for cooking than fresh ones.
French Cabbage. — Put into a pot containing one and a half
pints boiling water, one-half head of cabbage chopped moder-

pour a teacup of cream or rich milk over, place in stove and
brown slightly, basting every now and then with the cream.

squashes as desired. Slice thin; do not peel or remove seed;
boil until done; drain and mash fine; add salt and pepper to
taste, a piece of butter, and a little cream. Serve while hot.
To prepare squash an old-fashioned way is to slice tender
squashes, put them in a skillet with two "rashers" of bacon,
and water enough to cook done. Mash fine, add salt and pep-
per ; let stew down until slightly brown ; remove pieces of meat
and serve squash while hot. mrs. j. m. sheppard.
Salsify or Oyster Plant Patties. — Prepare and cook very
tender, take from the water and mash with the potato masher
very fine. To each pint of salsify add the yolk of one egg, one
small tablespoon butter, salt and pepper to taste, and rolled
beaten biscuit or cracker crumb enough to make it stiff enough
to roll into patties with the hands. Roll in egg and then in

butter, salt and pepper to taste. Pour over hot toast and cover

Cauliflower. — Take off all outside leaves, wash thoroughly
and put in a bag, in which boil gently in salted water until
done. Pour over melted butter, with a spoon of cream, or
serve with white sauce. mrs. c. w. bradshaw.
Vegetable Patties. — Potatoes, parsnips, beets, salsify,
squash, corn, all make good patties. Boil the vegetables ten-
der, mash well, season with butter, pepper, and salt and a small

Hints to Housekeepers.
Measuring. — An important matter to be observed in the
cooking of foods is correct measuring. Many failures are made
from lack of care in this respect. As measures are more con-
venient than weights, they are more generally used. The large-
sized coffeecup, which holds half a pint, is a good standard to
go by. The following are good rules to follow :
First — Flour, sugar, and salt that has been packed, should
be sifted before measuring.
Second — A cup of dry material should be measured level
with the top of the cup without being packed down.
Third — A cup of liquid should be all the cup will hold with-
out overflowing.
Fourth — The teaspoon and tablespoon, commonly recom-
mended in cook books, is the silver spoon in general use.
BREAD.
Light Bread.
Light Bread. — One pint sweet milk heated a little more

and set in a warm place to rise. When it has risen to a
ittle more than twice its size — which it should do in from
three to four hours — add a tablespoon of lard and sufficient salt
and enough flour to make a dough. Knead well, make into
loaves, and set to rise again. It will be ready to bake in from
an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half. Bake in a slow
oven from three-quarters to an hour. Graham and whole wheat
bread are made in the same way, using about one-third white
flour and more or less sugar to taste. miss annie walker.
Salt-rising Bread. — Take one teacup of fresh milk, let
come to a boil, then pour into a pint cup and thicken with corn
meal ; cover and let set in a warm place over night. In the
morning take one pint of fresh milk and add to it one-half pint
of hot water and the mush; then thicken to a stiff batter with
flour, adding one teaspoon of salt. Set this yeast into a vessel
of hot water, as warm as you can bear your hand in. When it
rises, take flour and lard— to one gallon of flour two tablespoons
of lard — and make as you would any other bread.
MRS. JOHN W. CECIL.
Salt-rising Bread. — Make a stiff batter of warm water and
one pint flour; add a half teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of
sugar, and one tablespoon of corn meal. Set in pot of warm
water (and keep warm) to rise. If it gets too thin while rising,
stir in more flour, but don't stir after it begins to bead. This
quantity of yeast will make a large loaf of bread by adding
sweet milk or warm water. Use flour enough to make a mod-
erately stiff dough. Work into flour a piece of lard the size of
an egg; add a teaspoon of salt, then the yeast and milk, or
water. Don't knead too much. Let rise again and bake.

CAKES.
Cake. — Too much care can not be given to the preparation
of the oven, which is oftener too hot than too cold. However,
an oven too cold at first will ruin any cake. A good plan is to
fill the stove with hard wood, let it burn until there is a good
steady heat, and then turn the damper, so as to throw the heat
to the bottom of oven for fully ten minutes betore the cake is
put in. Add wood in small quantities, for if the heat becomes
slack the cake will be heavy. If necessary to move the cake
70 COLUMBIA COOK BOOK.
while baking do it very gently. Allow about thirty minutes
for each inch of thickness in a quick oven, and more time in a
slow one. Settling away from the pan a little is an indication
that the cake is ready to leave the oven. It should remain in
the pan at least fifteen minutes after taking from the oven.

Sulphurated Fruit. — Apples may be cut in large pieces,
with or without peel. Put in basket and hang in the top of a
close barrel, covering with something heavy — an old quilt,
folded, makes a good cover. Have in the barrel an oven of
coals on which to pour the sulphur. Cover and leave four or
five hours. One cup of sulphur to a half bushel o^ fruit will
be sufficient. Do not put all the sulphur on at once. It is best
to use half cup and leave for an hour or two; replenish fire and
use other half. It is a good idea to sulphurate in afternoon and
leave basket hanging in barrel over night. Take from basket,
pack in large-mouthed stone jar, and tie a muslin cloth over it.
Leave this without any other cover, in order that the sulphur
may evaporate. Peaches halved and sulphurated are excellent
with cream and sugar. MRS. J. w. shelton.
COLUMBIA COOK BOOK. 121
JELLIES, JAMS, MARMALADES, ETC.
Preparation of Jellies. — Reject all over-ripe, unripe, or
partially decayed fruits. Apples, crabapples, and quinces
should be first steamed or cooked in a little water to soften
them. No juice must be allowed to drain out without pressing
or squeezing. The juice of berries, grapes, and currants may
be extracted without the fruit being first scalded, if preferred,
by putting the fruit into an earthen vessel and mashing well
with a potato masher, then putting into a jelly bag and allow to
drip. Jellies are generally made of equal measures of juice
and sugar, measured before boiling.
Apple Jelly. — After apples, grapes, or plums have boiled
half an hour, strain through a flannel bag, pressing it now and
then. For every cup of syrup use a cup of sugar. Put sugar
in large flat pan in oven to warm. Boil syrup twenty min-
utes; then add sugar and boil awhile. Put in pitcher that
has been well heated, tie a piece of cheese-cloth over it, and
strain into heated glasses. mrs. v. h. hughes.
Apple Jelly without Sugar. —Select juicy, white-fleshed,
sub-acid fruit, sound but not mellow. Wash well, slice and core
without removing the skin, and cook until tender. Drain off
the juice, and if a very clear jelly is desired, filter it through a
cheese-cloth wrung out of hot water. Boil rapidly at first, but
more gently as it becomes thickened. One hour at least will
be required for one or two quarts of juice. When it jellies suf-
ficiently, remove at once from the fire. A much larger quan-
tity of juice will be needed for jelly prepared in this manner
than when sugar is used — about two quarts of juice for one-half
pint of jelly. Excellent served with grains. Diluted with
water, a most pleasant beverage. MRS. V. H. hughes.
Apple Jelly. — Pare and slice a peck of apples; the more
acid the better. Pack in kettle and pour in enough water to

cover them. Boil till soft enough to mash. Pour into a bag
and hang up to drain ; squeeze slightly. To every cup of juice
put a cup of sugar; then add the juice of three lemons. Boil
very fast twenty minutes, or until it jellies.
MRS. J. M. SHEPPARD.
Quince Jelly. — Rub the fruit with a cloth until perfectly
smooth. Cut in small pieces, and pack in the kettle. Pour in
cold water enough to cover the fruit, and boil until very soft.
Put into a three-cornered bag and hang up to drain ; squeeze
slightly. To every pint of juice add a pint of sugar warmed in
a pan before using. Boil fifteen minutes, or until jellied. Pour
into moulds. mrs. j. m. sheppard.
Grape Jam. — Hull the grapes, boil the pulps until soft, seed
them by use of colander or thin cloth, then add hulls and pound
for pound of sugar, cooking until it is the consistency of any
jam. MRS. W. C. WI1ITTHORNE.
Cherry Preserves. — Seed the cherries carefully, reject-
ing all faulty ones. Weigh them, and to every pound add a full
pound of sugar, putting in vessel a layer of sugar and a layer
of cherries alternately. Let stand over night, then pour into
kettle, and boil gently till fruit is thoroughly tender and syrup
thick. Put in glass jars (fill level), cut piece of white paper,
dip in brandy or wine, and put over top ; then put on jar top.
MRS. J. M. SHEPPARD.
Candied Cherries. — Stone the cherries without bruising;
drain, weigh, and to each pound allow a pound of sugar ; add just
enough water to melt the sugar; bring to boiling point and skim.
Put in the cherries and push to one side of the range where
they may remain hot, but not boiling, for at least an hour; then
draw the kettle over the fire and cook slowly until the cherries
are transparent; skim, drain, sprinkle sugar over them, and
place on a sieve in the sun or in an oven to dry. This syrup
will answer for the boiling of several pounds of cherries.

cup butter, one pound English walnuts, one-half pound figs,
three tablespoons whisky or brandy. Mix sugar with enough
cream to dissolve thoroughly ; add butter and syrup. Stir.

candy gets hard, add nuts and figs chopped fine, over which
pour whisky or brandy; beat this mixture thoroughly and pour
into a buttered dish. miss olivia barrow.
Sugar Candy.— Three cups white sugar, one cup equal
parts vinegar and water. Cook one-half hour ; do not stir; add
