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.

Fried Cabbage

Cut the cabbage very fine, on a slaw cutter, if possible; salt and pepper, stir well, and let stand five minutes. Have an iron kettle smoking hot, drop one table-spoon lard into it, then the cabbage, stirring briskly until quite tender; send to table immediately. One half cup sweet cream, and three table-spoons vinegar-the vinegar added after the cream has been well stirred, and after taken from the stove, is an agreeable change. When properly done an invalid can eat it without injury, and there is no offensive odor from cooking. Mrs. J. T. Liggett, Detroit, Mich.
