Early American Cooking - Recipes from America's Historic Sites

How did the Pilgrim Fathers like to eat? Now is your chance to see (and taste, if you are brave enough to cook from the recipes). Early American Cooking is based on information donated from various historic sites and, in some cases, adapted for today's kitchen*

A fascinating insight into what the wealthy of yesteryear ate. A whole range of people (mostly men, I hasten to add), from Washington, Jefferson, Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, to name but a few.

Striking blue illustrations scattered throughout by Fran Waldmann. Like all Peter Pauper Press books, this cookbook is a real feast for the eyes
