Historically researched, “Voices From the Kitchen-Vol. III” contains 410 authentic recipes from 1836-1865, utilizing 16 cookbooks from that time period, 15 of which have heretofore not been used in previous works of this series. Each recipe is written exactly as it was over 160 years ago, so this is not a “Redneck” souvenir book from a roadside stand. Letter and diary quotes from Civil War soldiers preface each chapter, as their “voice” speaks through history to describe their thoughts on the foods they were issued, captured or received from home. Chapters include Breakfast, Soup, Main Courses, Side Dishes and Salads, Wild Game, Sauces, Dressings, Vinegars and Spices, Jams and Jellies, Breads and Biscuits, Pickled Dishes, Desserts and Drinks. More specific examples of recipes include: Apple Pancakes, Gumbo, Fricasseed Chicken, Fried Carrots, Venison Cutlets, Kitchen Pepper, Soda Biscuits, Bread Pudding, Harvest Drink and a host of other delectables.
In order to encourage the “modern” cook, a “Measurements and Definitions” section explains how hot a “Slow Oven” should be or the amount of an ingredient that makes up a “Teacup” or “Wineglass”. As a result, this book is for people who enjoy cooking, reenactors and those who appreciate the simple “old fashion” way of preparing a diverse array of meals.
