Early Chemical Leavenings
Pearlash--Crude potassium carbonate, called, when purified by recrystalization, pearlash. Saleratus--Originally potassium bicarbonate, it began to replace the pearlash in cookbooks in the early 1850's. As sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) became more common, potassium bicarbonate was discontinued. However, some people continued to call soda 'saleratus' for several more decades.

Chemical Leavenings:Baking Soda
• Founded 1846. Dr. Austin Church and his brother-in-law John E. Dwight, who had been making and packaging baking soda in Dwight's kitchen. In 1867, two sons of Church formed Church & Co. The Arm & Hammer trademark dates from that year; Church & Co. acquired a spice and mustard business, Vulcan Spice Mills, that used an arm and hammer logo.

First Chocolate Cookie
CHOCOLATE MACAROONS. Put a quarter of a pound of chocolate on a time-plate over a coal fire, and when it is dissolved pour it on a plate; put to it a spoonful or two of sweet almond paste, made as for macaroons, stir it in well, and then pour it upon the remainder of the almond paste, in which you have mixed a teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon or vanilla, or both: beat them together well in a mortar, lay them on paper, and bake them for three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven.
• From: The Cook’s Own Book (Boston,1832), by Mrs. N. K. M. Lee, copied from Cook’s Dictionary and Housekeeper’s Directory, by Richard Dolby.
