The National Cook Book
Author: Hannah Bouvier Peterson
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449435033
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Born in 1811 to a prominent Philadelphia Quaker family, Hannah Bouvier was particularly concerned with making her recipes as useful and practical as possible, drawing them up in the “most concise and simple manner,” sacrificing “style to minute detail; not even avoiding repetition where it might render directions more explicit.” She noted correctly that in many contemporary cookbooks, the cook was forced to wade through a “formidable amount of reading before she can learn the process of making a pudding,” and others at the opposite extreme “are so brief in their explanations [they] are ever liable to misconception.” Bouvier’s training in mathematics and popular science advanced her goal of making the recipes as easy to use as possible for American women of the day, utilizing only readily available utensils and ingredients and encompassing only “purely American” cooking. She was also deeply concerned about cooking for the sick and convalescent and included a significant section with recipes prepared according to the directions of an eminent local physician. As might be expected of a scientist, the book is thorough and comprehensive, including recipes for soups, fish, meat, vegetables, sauces, pickles, pastry, sweets, tea cakes, cakes, preserves, and miscellaneous dishes, clearly organized with both a detailed table of contents and index, unlike many contemporary cookbooks that lacked both. This edition of The National Cook Book was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the society is a research library documenting the lives of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection comprises approximately 1,100 volumes.

The Complete Cook
Author: J.M. Sanderson
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449434959
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Published in 1843 in Philadelphia, this volume in the American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection is derived from an earlier English work that author J. M. Sanderson heavily adapted for American usage, creating not only a cookbook that combined the best of American and European cooking of the time, but perhaps one of the first “international” cookbooks. James M. Sanderson’s The Complete Cook contains over 700 recipes, including “directions for the choice of meat and poultry; preparations for cooking, making soups and broths; boiling, roasting, baking and frying meats, fish; seasonings, colourings, cooking vegetables; preparing salads, clarifying; making of pastry, puddings, gruels, gravies, garnishes, and, with general directions for making wines.” According to the title page and his introduction, Sanderson clearly states that the majority of his book was copied heavily from a well-known English work, and he is but the adaptor. We now know the uncredited author was W. G. Lewis. Sanderson’s small contributions throughout create an excellent combination of American and English cooking. For example, he provides an American recipe for Pumpkin Pie alongside the English version, comments on cooking in the excessive heat of the West Indies, and refers to a superior English method for boiling meat without contact with the water. There are quite a few American recipes cited with their English counterparts and referred to as “the American mode,” for example, “The American Mode of Dressing Salt Fish.” This edition of The Complete Cook was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the society is a research library documenting the lives of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience.

My Mother's Cook Book
Author: Ladies of St. Louis
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449434908
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
The category of “charity cookbook” is a favorite in American culinary history. Funds raised by sales of these cookbooks, with recipes donated by women’s groups and church societies, were used to aid a wide variety of local causes and charities. My Mother’s Cook Book belongs in this category—an excellent example of regional cooking styles of the post-Civil War Midwest. Several hundred recipes compiled by Ladies of St. Louis for the Women’s Christian Home include a complete range of dishes from soup to nuts, tending toward dishes “my mother” used, and handed down from mother to daughter. The ladies’ droll sense of humor is captured in the preface: “The recipes gathered in this priceless volume have been sent from all parts of the known world; several even from New Jersey.” Although the ladies are unnamed, a dedication by Mrs. E. F. Richards and the Misses Glover thanks all the contributors as well as local advertisers who aided the project (ads for merchants selling a wide variety of merchandise, including the “latest gems of fashion,” are included at the front of the book). This edition of My Mother’s Cook Book was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the society is a research library documenting the lives of Americans from the colonial era through 1876.

The Cook Book of Rare and Valuable Recipes
Author: An Eminent Physician
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449434983
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
This volume in the American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection, published in Philadelphia in 1850, is an exhaustive compilation of hundreds of methods, formulas, and recipes for culinary, housekeeping, agricultural, and medical issues of importance in nineteenth century households, assembled by an unknown physician. In his introduction, the “eminent physician” cited as compiler of this fascinating volume states, “There was a time when ladies knew nothing beyond their own family concerns; but in the present day there are many who know nothing about them.” His intention was to supply every possible bit of information about housekeeping, homemaking, farming, and medical care that contemporary women seemed to lack. His work contains hundreds of procedures, advice, and recipes organized in a whimsical hodgepodge without a table of contents or index to guide the reader. For example, a recipe for “an excellent tooth power” is sandwiched in between “a method of cleaning china” and “how to stain paper.” Similarly, “pickling tomatoes” can be found between “means of stopping a runaway horse” and “grafting grapevines.” It makes an engrossing, entertaining read that provides an intriguing portrait of nineteenth century lifestyles. Although many medical entries appear throughout the text, the final 20 percent of the book appears to be an independent and uncredited work entitled The Family Physician—such plagiarism was common in nineteenth century publishing. In fact, the disorganization of the material makes it likely that the entire contents of the book were taken from an existing volume or a number of sources and the “compiler” simply collected other authors' work in this encyclopedic treasury.

The Health Reformer's Cook Book
Author: Lucretia Jackson
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449428525
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
Once life and culture had stabilized in the 19th century and moved beyond the frontier focus on subsistence and survival, Americans began to explore the idea of improving health and creating more comfortable lifestyles. Health reform in the late 19th century emerged from the idea that a healthy body and practicing moderation in daily living were necessary to a spiritual, meaningful existence. From these ideas, the vegetarian philosophy was codified, and The Health Reformer’s Cook Book embraced trends that still have significance today. As stated in the book, it’s “object is to restore the sick to health by means of . . . pure air, pure water, sun-light, sleep, proper clothing, judicious exercise, healthful food, pleasant social influences, &c., excluding all poisonous drugs.” The Health Reformer’s Cook Book is based on the methods and beliefs that Jackson and her husband actually employed at a health facility founded by her husband. Following the health reform ideals of the time, Jackson included recipes to limit excessive eating and following a vegetarian diet focused on simple meals of fruits, vegetables, and grains—all trends that still resonant with health experts today. This edition of The Health Reformer’s Cook Book was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876.
