New cookbook!

The Brown-Pusey House has published a new cookbook, “Aunt Beck’s Favorites,” in observance of the House’s 200th anniversary!

This is a fun gift for any cook who wonders how people made supper before electricity. It includes some of the hand-written recipes found in the House archives that Aunt Beck used to feed her boarders back in the mid- to late-1800s.

Aunt Beck was famous for her coffee (not like the coffee of today!) as well as her biscuits and applesauce. They’re included in this cookbook – as well as her asparagus, her corn fritters, and her soap. (No, we don’t suggest you eat the soap!)

Celebrate 200 Years of Hospitality with a fun little cookbook you can give as an Elizabethtown gift. Cost is $10 plus tax.

Stop by the House Tuesday – Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to get your copy.! We are downtown at 128 N. Main St. You can also call us at (270) 765-2515.
