This is a companion cookbook to Reminiscences of Balls-Town: Echoes and Whispers of Forgotten Legacies by Amy Shannon. It's time to invite yourself into the kitchen of the settlers and pioneers of Balls-Town. Balls-Town founded by Eliphalet Ball, became a hub of societal and community prosperity with its bubbling mineral springs. It called out to persons who wanted a better life for their families, and a place to literally put down roots.
This cookbook is a selection of various types of foods that you might find in many kitchens of farmers, industrialists, socialites, and the every day working family. It was the man's job to work, but the hardest work was the wife's, raising and bearing children, cooking all the meals, bookkeeping for the family finances, cleaning, toiling and sewing, while also doing whatever chores were left. Usually, she was the first to rise and the last to sleep. You're invited into her kitchen, where you can smell the bread baking, the stew slow cooking over the roaring fire, and you may be asked to sit down, and enjoy a tall glass of buttermilk, or a treat, a hot cup of coffee.
