Recipes for Lemon and Orange Cream from The Virginia Housewife by Mary Randolph. This is one of the cookbooks in the Jackson family library. Randolph was reputed to be the best cook in Virginia. After a fall in family fortunes, she opened a boarding house and wrote this cookbook, the first cookbook truly to reflect American tastes and food supplies. Eight cookbooks remain in the Jackson family library as well as books on making wine and distilling whiskey.
