Someone from my Jewish group sent this to me, Adamantius. I don't know how much help this will be to you, but it is a piece of the puzzle.

  1871
  Esther Jacobs Levy, author of the "Jewish Cookery Book", the first American kosher cookbook, written in 1871, was probably an English Jew living in Philadelphia. Mrs. Levy's recipes come from the different backgrounds of Jewry -- English, German, Sephardic, and American. Local dandelion greens are used in salads, and corn is cooked in a fritter resembling oysters, a popular nineteenth-century dish. In the 1870's "The New York Times" published one of
  the book's recipes for worsht, or sausage and rice, without acknowledging the source.

  It contains not only recipes but
  what every Jewish wife should know to create a Jewish home.
