1831 Virginia Housewife Cooking Recipes Food Prep Cordials Cake Mary Randolph
Mary Randolph (1762-1828) was a descendent of Pocahontas and related, through marriage, to Thomas Jefferson. In 1825, Mary Randolph capitalized on her cooking skills and published one of the best-known cookbooks of the nineteenth century, ‘The Virginia House-Wife.’ She sent a copy to Thomas Jefferson who thanked her for the book, writing that it was
"one of those which contribute most to the innocent enjoyments of mankind ... a greater degree of merit few classes of books can claim."
Manuscript cookbooks kept by Jefferson's granddaughters reveal that Mrs. Randolph was the source of over forty dishes that were served at Monticello, including catfish soup and floating island. This undated early 19th century edition of ‘The Virginia Housewife’ includes topics on:
Soups
