That site is like finding buried treasure,who knows what we shall find as we explore what is there for us to see.This is from Breakfast, Luncheon & Tea by a very prolific author of cookbooks of the 19th century, Marion Harland. I found it on the link @nitrofd provided earlier today. It's from 1875, so a little later than the Civil War, but still has an amazing wealth of recipes and household advice.

It really is a problem as you do not know where to begin.I have started looking at the recipes too. So many to choose from.
On the other site I posted today"vintage recipes" I put in the search engine egg cutlets and this recipe popped up.it is from Mrs.Wilson's cook book (1920).This is from Breakfast, Luncheon & Tea by a very prolific author of cookbooks of the 19th century, Marion Harland. I found it on the link @nitrofd provided earlier today. It's from 1875, so a little later than the Civil War, but still has an amazing wealth of recipes and household advice.
