Download or read book American Cookery written by Amelia Simmons and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eighteenth century kitchen reference is the first cookbook published in the U.S. with recipes using local ingredients for American cooks. Named by the Library of Congress as one of the eighty-eight “Books That Shaped America,” American Cookery was the first cookbook by an American author published in the United States. Until its publication, cookbooks used by American colonists were British. As author Amelia Simmons states, the recipes here were “adapted to this country,” reflecting the fact that American cooks had learned to prepare meals using ingredients found in North America. This cookbook reveals the rich variety of food colonial Americans used, their tastes, cooking and eating habits, and even their rich, down-to-earth language. Bringing together English cooking methods with truly American products, American Cookery contains the first known printed recipes substituting American maize for English oats; the recipe for Johnny Cake is the first printed version using cornmeal; and there is also the first known recipe for turkey. Another innovation was Simmons’s use of pearlash—a staple in colonial households as a leavening agent in dough, which eventually led to the development of modern baking powders. A culinary classic, American Cookery is a landmark in the history of American cooking. “Thus, twenty years after the political upheaval of the American Revolution of 1776, a second revolution—a culinary revolution—occurred with the publication of a cookbook by an American for Americans.” —Jan Longone, curator of American Culinary History, University of Michigan This facsimile edition of Amelia Simmons's American Cookery was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, founded in 1812.

Download or read book The Frugal Housewife written by Susannah Carter and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook was the only cookbook published in the United States during the 50-year period before publication of American Cookery by Amelia Simmons—the first truly American cookbook. Originally published in the United Kingdom, Susannah Carter’s work was hugely successful, and after achieving best-seller status in that market, it was published for an American audience. Again, it was well-received, this time by colonial housewives. The first American printing actually included plates engraved by Paul Revere. The Frugal Housewife contains a fascinating array of recipes including: Baked Indian Pudding, Eel Pie, Peach Sweetmeats, Maple Beer, Method of Destroying the Putrid Smell which Meat Acquires during Hot Weather, and Spruce Beer out of Shed Spruce. The cookbook and author Carter are credited with influencing author Amelia Simmons, who wrote the first American-specific cookbook, but the The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman Cook is historically significant in its own worth as well for its recipes, social information, and time period when it was published. Later US editions included some Americanization for New World ingredients and methods. This edition of The Frugal Housewife, or Complete Woman 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 life 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 includes approximately 1,100 volumes.

Download or read book In the Kitchen with Gary Corcoran Recipes from Home and Away written by Gary G. Corcoran and published by Tellwell Talent. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 15 years ago, Gary Corcoran got a phone call from his long-time friends Wally and Kevin and his wife Dale, who were visiting London, England. Kevin said they had rented a beautiful flat that not only had a great kitchen, but was next door to Harrods, home of the world-famous food hall. "How about coming over and cooking a nice dinner with us?" Kevin joked. That was all the invitation Gary needed. He bought a plane ticket from Newfoundland to London that afternoon, and before you knew it, he was off to shop at Harrods. That's where he got the inspiration for one of the recipes in his book: shrimp wrapped in prosciutto with Dijon mustard and sautéed in garlic butter. Cookbooks hold a place of honour in the Corcoran household, and Gary has scribbled over many of them with notes and ideas on how he could improve or change each dish. He has become known for creating new dishes for family gatherings or for the many charity dinners he has cooked for over the past 10 years. Since he was diagnosed with ALS, he has worked at transforming his personal notebooks and cookbook scribbles into proper recipes for others to enjoy. This cookbook includes Gary's take on traditional recipes from home, recipes inspired by dishes he enjoyed while away, and those he just invented on the spot. Gary is donating 100% of the proceeds from sales of this cookbook to charity: half to ALS research at Sunnybrook Hospital to find a cure for sporadic ALS and half to his Stokers Group of the St. John's Rotary Club.
Download or read book A Taste of Power written by Katharina Vester and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the founding of the United States, culinary texts and practices have played a crucial role in the making of cultural identities and social hierarchies. A Taste of Power examines culinary writing and practices as forces for the production of social order and, at the same time, points of cultural resistance. Culinary writing has helped shape dominant ideas of nationalism, gender, and sexuality, suggesting that eating right is a gateway to becoming an American, a good citizen, an ideal man, or a perfect wife and mother. In this brilliant interdisciplinary work, Katharina Vester examines how cookbooks became a way for women to participate in nation-building before they had access to the vote or public office, for Americans to distinguish themselves from Europeans, for middle-class authors to assert their class privileges, for men to claim superiority over women in the kitchen, and for lesbian authors to insert themselves into the heteronormative economy of culinary culture. A Taste of Power engages in close reading of a wide variety of sources and genres to uncover the intersections of food, politics, and privilege in American culture.

Download or read book The Well of Loneliness written by Radclyffe Hall and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.
