“Housekeeping in Old Virginia”, edited and compiled by Marion Cabell Tyree, is a historic American cookbook. It reveals the domestic principles and practices of the famous Virginia homes. It will be seen that she is indebted to nearly 250 contributors to her book. Among these will be found many names famous throughout the land. Associated with them will be discovered others of a less national celebrity, but who have acquired among their neighbors an equally merited distinction for the beautiful order and delightful cuisine of their homes.
The labors of the writer have been greatly lightened by the kindness of these contributors. And she desires in this public way to renew her thanks for the aid which they have given her, but even more for the goodness which prompts them, at cost of their sensitiveness, to allow her to append their names to the recipes which they furnish.
