Mary Virginia Terhune was a best-selling writer of women’s fiction novels in the 19th century. Under her pen name, “Marion Harland,” she published 25 novels and three volumes of short stories over the course of her lifetime. But she also wrote an almost equal number of cookery books and books of household/homemaking instruction and advice.
THE COTTAGE KITCHEN is one of Harland’s scarcer titles. This cookbook, like others of her creation, was prompted by her own personal dissatisfaction with cookbooks of her day and a desire to improve women’s daily lives, especially those of the laboring classes.
THE COTTAGE KITCHEN is a large collection of cookery recipes, many culled from the author’s own Southern background. In addition to recipes for soups, meats, salads, vegetables, puddings, pastries and more, the book is interspersed with Harland’s “Familiar Talks” – a series of brief chapters consisting of plain advice from the author on a number of household and domestic subjects: “Country-boarding,” “Dishwashing,” “Kitchenly-kind” and “Table Manners,” to name a few.
This is a handsome and original 1883 edition of Marion Harland’s THE COTTAGE KITCHEN. To give you a more substantial idea of the book’s offerings, I have prepared a detailed summary of the featured recipes, found below. I hope you will take a few moments to have a look.
