A Poetical Cook-Book
Maria J. Moss
Turtle soup, but make it rhyme. Maria Moss set a cookbook to poetry, pairing verses with working receipts for chicken broth, stewed white fish, and the rest of a proper dinner, plus miscellaneous observations for the mistress of a family. A Philadelphia curiosity from the 1860s, equal parts anthology and menu. Dine where literature and supper share a plate.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
