Hearthside Cooking

About this title:

"For cooks hungry for a connection to culinary history, Hearthside Cooking is a treasure trove of early American delights. First published in 1986, it offers twenty-first century cooks an enjoyable, informative resource for traditional cooking. It contains recipes for more than 250 historic dishes, including breads, soups, entrees, cakes, custards, sauces, and more.

For each dish, Nancy Carter Crump provides the original recipe, followed by two sets of instructions-one for preparation over the open fire and a second making use of modern kitchen appliances. Crump also includes information about the men and women who wrote the original recipes, which she discovered by scouring old Virginia cookbooks, handwritten receipt books, and other primary sources in archival collections."
