    0:54 ahh the calm before the storm. Those dishes were quickly smothered in love and butter.
    Below you will find recipes translated into modern directions from the original. You can always find images of the original recipes (or receipts as they were once called) at the end of my videos. Thank you for your time.
    To Dress Salad (The Female Economist, London, 1810)
    The Dressing:
    4 egg yolks, hard boiled
    2 tablespoons of water
    4 tablespoons of butter OR olive oil (referred to in the reciept as "salad oil." Olive oil was referred to either as salad oil or sweet oil in this period)
    1 teaspoon of mustard
    0.25 cups of white vinegar
    Salt & pepper to taste
    The Salad, as recommended in the original recipet. Adapt according to tastes:
    Radishes
    Celery
    Onions
    Lettuce
    Mustard greens
    Watercress
    Mash your egg yolks and water until you've formed a paste. Mix into it your butter, mustard, vinegar, salt & pepper. Chop your vegetable ingredients small. Pour the salad dressing over your salad and enjoy!
    New Bedford Pudding (Mrs. Putnam's Recipe Book, New York, 1849 NOT 1810)
    4 heaping tablespoons of flour
    4 heaping tablespoons of yellow cornmeal
    1 tsp of salt
    0.5 cups of molasses
    0.5 cups of whole milk
    Butter, for greasing your pan
    In a bowl whisk together your flour, cornmeal and salt. Pour in the molasses and then the milk. Whisk up well until it is smooth with no clumps. Pour your batter into a well greased dish and bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour. The original reciept instructs to bake it for 3 hours but I found that it tasted the best after 1 hour.
    * standardized measurements did not yet exist in the 1840s. Because of this when the recipe calls for 1 cup of molasses it does not mean a standardized cup but rather a small drinking vessel's worth.
    To Broil Chicken (The New-England Cookery, Vermont, 1808)
    The Chicken:
    1 Cornish hen
    1 lemon, cut into slices
    2 tablespoons of bread crumbs
    Salt & pepper to taste
    The Mushroom Gravy:
    0.5 cups of cut & cleaned mushrooms
    3 tablespoons of butter
    1 cup of chicken broth
    2 tablespoons of flour
    1 teaspoon of sage
    1 teaspoon of thyme
    Salt & pepper to taste (if any, given that the chicken broth should already comprise of these things)
    Butterfly a chicken by cutting it down the back. Season well with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken inside downwards on a gridiron or a grill. Cook using low heat over an hour. Halfway during cooking sprinkle bread crumbs over the chicken, flip then lay more bread crumbs on the other side & continue to cook. When done serve over a bed of lemon slices. For the gravy melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Into the butter add sage & thyme. Whisk in the flour and continue to whisk until the flour has a medium brown color similar to caramel. This should only take a few minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, whisking all the while. Add the mushrooms. Cook uncovered on medium heat until it has thickened to your liking, or around 10-15 minutes. Enjoy the chicken with this delicious mushroom gravy.
