Until 1701, Quakers were possibly the only organized religious denomination in North Carolina and made up about ten percent of the total population. Half a century later, ac- cording to records still preserved, streams of Quaker immigrants came from the north and settled in this Piedmont area. Scattered communities set up local, or monthly meetings (Quaker nuclei) which were, in turn, organized to form quarterly meetings. These quarterly meetings were great occasions not only for preach- ing and business meetings but for friendly intercourse and for feasting. Quakers believed in simplicity of speech and apparel, yet they were “good providers” and the women tock pardonable pride in their cooking. They brought most delectable foods to these dinners and many choice recipes were exchanged. To these meetings, too, came “visiting Friends” from northern states and even from England and other lands. These guests were cordially entertained in homes and royally, though rurally, fed. Fried chicken, hot breads, roasts and garden vegetables gave body to the meals while pickles, relishes, pies, cakes and puddings added zest. The reader will note that no alcoholic content is suggested in any of these recipes, for Quakers have a testimony against strong drink. High Point Monthly Meeting has grown to be the largest in Deep River Quarter. With the vision of continued growth in mind, the meeting has bought a large wooded tract of land where a new and large Meeting House will be built in the near future. It is the women of this meeting who have collected these recipes and prepared this second Quaker Cook Book.
