I attended a library talk that was mostly about who Abby Fisher (and her family, and her owners, and her friends...) were, how she got to the situation she did (earned her own freedom and that of her children), and how she got a cookbook published. It was interesting - but I was more interested in the book and its recipes, and went and found it on the Internet Archives. I am amused by how similar the recipes are, in style, to the medieval cookbooks I encounter in the SCA - ingredients, a general idea of amounts, and then a lot of "deal with it as normal" or "cook until done". It would take some work to make these recipes useful in a modern kitchen - among other things, they're usually huge amounts of food. But I'm definitely going to try. The baking recipes are interesting, and some of the meat ones give me some ideas (though I doubt I'll try to accurately reproduce them, a lot of them start with "take a cow/pig/chicken"...). The jams, too, though again the fruit is often measured in bushels. Glad I came across it, though, and I will try to cook from it. ( ) Soups, Pickles, Preserves, Etc.

First published in 1881, "What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking: Soups, Pickles, Preserves, etc." is the informative and practical guide to cooking, canning, and preserving by former slave Abby Fisher. The author was born into slavery in South Carolina in 1831 and moved to San Francisco in 1877, where she achieved fame for her pickle company and award-winning cooking. While Fisher was illiterate, she was full of wisdom and practical experience from decades of cooking and canning and dictated the 160 recipes in this classic cookbook to a group of nine people in San Francisco and Oakland, California. It was long-believed to be the first cookbook by an African-American author until the rediscovery of the 1866 cookbook by Malinda Russell titled "Domestic Cook Book: Containing a Careful Selection of Useful Receipts for the Kitchen". Fisher's recipes have survived the test of time and many are delicious and remain easy to make in modern kitchens. Part historical document, part useful cookbook, detailed instructions are included for how to cook using wood stoves and fireplaces. Fisher's cookbook is a fascinating glimpse into the practical realities of cooking in the days before electricity and modern appliances. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
