Changes in diet brought about by shortages during the American Civil War are highlighted as are care and maintenance of kitchen utensils in a 19th century kitchen. Pertinent information on Army foods is also outlined.
Some of the recipes were traced from 1500 through 1900 to establish the basic American diet, standard methods of preparation, and the sociologic changes demonstrated in the way the recipes were recorded.
Each chapter has pertinent history, recipes, and instructions for recreating the foods either open hearth or in a modern kitchen. Learn the importance of vinegar as a preservative, sorghum as a sweetener, and the world-wide importance of American staples such as Carolina gold rice.
