The Gilded Table: Recipes and Table History from the Campbell House

Gilded coverThe Gilded Table, Recipes and Table History from the Campbell House is a new cookbook, filled with 178 recipes from the 19th century. It is also a book filled with history, including the story of prominent St. Louis couple Robert and Virginia Campbell who moved into the house in 1854. Among their dinner guests were Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman.

photo-436Suzanne Corbett (shown above with “General Grant”) is the author of The Gilded Table. She spent several years organizing and testing Virginia Campbell’s recipes which are reproduced in the book.

I spoke to Suzanne about the project in 2012 on the Food Talk STL radio show and chatted with her recently at an event at River City Casino. Here’s that conversation, which runs just over 4 minutes:

The Gilded Table features photos by Jim Corbett III of many of the food items as well as Campbell family furnishings and dishware, including china, crystal and sterling.
