A Quaker Woman's Cookbook

The Domestic Cookery Of Elizabeth Ellicott Lea

BY ELIZABETH LEA, EDITED BY WILLIAM WOYS-WEAVER

Brief Description:
Published in 1846 this is a classic of American cookery, collecting basic rural recipes in a way no other book did. The recipes are simple and delicious. The book also includes such things as cures for chilblains and instructions on how to air mattresses. Elizabeth Ellicott Lea's Quakerism pervades the book and William Weaver, in his long and comprehensive introduction, places her in the Quaker world of the time, and seeks to explain the Quaker "politics" that meant this successful book was never mentioned in her obituary or in the Quaker journals of the time, whilst another by a Unitarian was.
