About this product

Product Information

This book uses historical commentary and recipes to trace the history of American cooking from the first European contact with Native Americans to the 1970s. Each of 50 chronologically arranged topical chapters contain 500-1,000 words of general commentary followed by descriptions and clear, step-by-step instructions for 3-4 recipes. The recipes are drawn from a wide variety of historical cookbooks and other historical sources. The topics cover broad periods (e.g., Settlers and Indians, Early American Spring Meals, Health Food in Victorian America); particular events (e.g., Civil War South, The Great Depression); and particular trends or movements (e.g., Railroad Food, School Lunch, The Labor Movement). Also presented are engaging special topics such as Patriotic Cakes, Abolitionist Recipes, Communal Experiments, and Modern Health Food. The book is indexed by year of publication of recipes, states, and broad subjects.

  • The American History Cookbook

    I bought this book because I am a family and Consumer Education Teacher and am developing a new course that reinforces the U.S. History social studies curriculum and involves alot of cooking. I love the way the book talks about the historical events of a time period and place including information to help my students understand why the recipe was popular in this time and place. They have a better understanding of what happened when and what it was like as they try to follow the recipes in as accurate a historical context as is possible given that we are not cooking over open fire, etc. It discusses which imigrants came from where and why, what thier culture dictates for food, and what techniques they knew how to cook with.
