First published in 1851, this was the first cookbook written by a Marylander. Elizabeth Ellicott Lea (1793-1858) was a liberal Quaker, especially when it came to slavery and social reform. The advice herein was collected from experts and compiled by Lea, with recipes for local specialties like bacon fraise, pigeon, rabbits, and squirrels, fried chicken, chicken stewed with new corn, gumbo soup, baked rock fish, stewed terrapins, oyster fritters, Baltimore oyster pie, baked pumpkins, etc. Spots and discoloration to cloth; front free endpaper lacking, last index page possibly lacking, else good.
