Originally published in 1884, "Mrs. Owens' Cook Book and Useful Household Hints" offers a fascinating glimpse into late 19th-century American culinary and domestic practices. This comprehensive guide, penned by Frances E. Owens, provides a wide array of recipes, from everyday meals to more elaborate dishes, reflecting the tastes and ingredients available during that era.
Beyond the kitchen, the book extends into practical household management, offering advice on cleaning, organizing, and various aspects of home economics. A special 'Farmers' Department' further broadens its appeal, providing useful tips and information relevant to agricultural life. "Mrs. Owens' Cook Book" is not only a valuable resource for historical cooking enthusiasts but also a captivating window into the daily lives of American families more than a century ago.
