Writing as "Mrs. S. R. Dull," Henrietta Stanley Dull compiled 1,300 recipes into the influential cookbook Southern Cooking, first published in 1928. This introduced Southern cuisine to a wider audience throughout the United States and adapted traditional recipes for preparation with modern gas and electric appliances. Dull's writing style was terse and emphasized pragmatism. "This is the day of efficiency, and the woman who admits she can never get through the kitchen is a thing of the past. In order to be efficient, she must know how to manage." Dull included several new recipes and revisions in the 1941 edition of Southern Cooking. This and the original have remained in print sporadically since Dull's death.
