Vintage Cooking From the 1800s - Poultry

Available at Select Retailers

Step back in time.....  and discover how people prepared and cooked poultry in the 1800s. Gas and electricity weren't available in homes back then, so they used an open hearth fireplace or wood burning stove. What a lot of work that was!

The information and recipes in this book were compiled from cookbooks published in the 1800s. Although cookbooks were helpful, people really learned through experience.

DISCLAIMER - Some of the practices from this time period will not conform with modern food safety standards. The information in this book is mainly for informational and educational purposes.

​​​​​​​In this book, you learn to select and dress poultry, keep it fresh, and various ways to cook it. There are recipes for chicken, duck, goose and turkey.

Also a Glossary and Sources - Cookbooks I referenced in case you'd like to read them as they were originally written.

About the author

Angela Johnson

I love to read (especially mysteries), walk outdoors, take photographs, visit with friends, and learn about nature. I also enjoy reading through cookbooks and trying new foods.

I was born in Missouri, the “Show-Me” state, so although I’m open to new ideas, I’m also skeptical and don’t believe everything I read. I currently lives in South Texas and enjoy traveling in the U.S.

I became interested in cooking from a young age, first learning how to make cookies from scratch. Over the past few years, I have stopped eating processed foods and am now preparing most of my own meals. 

Whenever I travel, I check out local grocery stores to see if there are any different foods I want to try. I also enjoy eating at local family-owned restaurants.

I’ve been blogging for years, writing about my travels, observations about nature, and my childhood. But I’ve now settled on writing about foods and how they were prepared and cooked in the 1800s. I sure wouldn’t want to live in those days, but it’s interesting to learn how people cooked using only an open hearth or wood burning stove. 

I hope you enjoy reading about this time period, too.
