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.

Southern Cabbage

Chop or slice one medium-sized cabbage fine, put it in a stewpan with boiling water to well cover it, and boil fifteen minutes; drain off all water, and add a dressing made as follows: Half teacup wine-vinegar, two-thirds as much sugar, salt, pepper, half teaspoon mustard, and two tea-spoons salad oil; when this is boiling hot, add one tea-cup cream, and one egg stirred together; mix thoroughly and immediately with the cabbage, and cook a moment. Serve hot.-Mrs. P. T. Morey, Charleston, S. C.
