Research update at moment, mine is going well at the moment. Using the web I have located a few readings that I would like to look further into recipes from the 1800s. Using the UT library database is a little difficult at first but when I went to librarian she was able to help me use the system. I have been to the library to look into the history in that time period: historical events that can alter why recipes are created and the tone the author used while writing. I still have a lot of work left to complete, but right now I feel like I am at a good starting point.
The topic seems like it’s coming together! How was going to the library in person versus searching online? And are you focusing more on book searches or journals? I think if you get a good idea of the specific areas in the South (maybe Louisiana? and cajun food?) that had food integrated into their culture that could help send you in the right direction!
