'Poetical Cook-Book' Summary
Published during and after the American Civil War, 'Poetical Cook-Book' by Maria J. Moss offers a fascinating fusion of practical recipes and literary excerpts. The recipes, reflecting the culinary traditions of the time, are still usable today, offering a glimpse into the domestic world of 19th-century America. The poetry, a collection of short excerpts and poems by renowned poets, provides a rich literary counterpoint to the culinary guidance.

Moss's work is not simply a cookbook but a cultural artifact, showcasing the intersection of food, literature, and history.Book Details
