About the book:
Dixie biscuits, dandy pudding, and pond lily salad are just a few of the delightful dishes in this collection containing nearly three hundred early-nineteenth-century recipes, including Southern favorites such as crackling corn bread, potato pies, and bread pudding. Recently discovered in the attic of Catalpa Plantation, these “receipts” are currently used by cooks who demonstrate typical antebellum plantation cookery at Rosedown. Following their marriage in 1828, Daniel and Martha Turnbull began developing their thirty-five-hundred-acre Rosedown estate, erecting their elegant manor house in 1834. When two of the Turnbull grandchildren married into the Fort family of Catalpa Plantation, these two distinguished families were joined. Family Recipes from Rosedown and Catalpa Plantations includes the history, traditions, and memoirs of the two Louisiana plantations, and recipes developed by English and Scottish relatives, slave cooks, and neighbors.
