The Dixie Cook-Book

“The best is none too good.” Southern family receipts gathered across generations and printed in Atlanta in 1883 — and, in the same volume, everything else a household was expected to know: the laundry, the sick-room, dressmaking, babies, and a year's bill of fare.

Broiled Oysters on the Half-Shell

Select large shells, clean with a brush, open, saving juice; put oysters in boiling water for a few minutes, remove and place each oyster in a half-shell, with juice; place on a gridiron over a brisk fire, and when they begin to boil, season with butter, salt and pepper (some add a drop of lemon juice.) Serve on the half-shell.
