I recently read a picture book about Amelia Simmons and wanted to look through her cookbook. This cookbook was the first cookbook written by an American for American kitchens. She instructed American women how to cook with meat, vegetables, grains and fruit native to America. She also offers advice in selecting the finest specimen and freshest produce.
Very interesting to compare these recipes to what we use now to cook/bake. I did not read every page. I borrowed out of curiosity for a quick browse.
-Borrowed from the library.
