Book Baking Recipes and Home Remedies from the Time of the War for American Independence

Download or read book Baking Recipes and Home Remedies from the Time of the War for American Independence written by Robert Pelton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baking in the American Colonies was far from an easy task. In fact, it was an incredibly complicated endeavor, and certainly not one to be taken lightly. The women of the house made quite an art out of baking tasty loaves of bread, pastry, pies, cakes, cookies, and all of their other homemade goodies. Large brick ovens, found in every home of the brave and hearty new immigrants had been left behind in England, Ireland and Scotland. The new settlers in America couldn't at first find much clay for making bricks. Certainly none could be found along the desolate shores of the broad Atlantic where the Pilgrims landed. And the Colonists were not at first equipped to manufacture bricks. Therefore, bricks were scarce in the new land. Not only were homemakers expected to know how to prepare the mixtures, they also had to make certain the fireplace was hot enough for baking. The coals had to be raked and banked and ready for cooking. Should the fire go out, a family member was handed a "fire spoon" and told to rush over to a neighbor and borrow some hot coals to start a new fire. Cooking? Yes, cooking, because most baking was initially done by placing the bread or cake or rolls directly on the smoldering coals. Or it was later done by placing the baked goods in front of the hearth in a dutch oven. Many other recipes handed down through a family were no more than a simple a handwritten list of ingredients. There were no instructions telling the woman of the house what to do with them. Mothers and daughters in the Colonies were expected to already know how to properly mix the ingredients. Susannah Carter became a household name in the kitchens of almost every Colonial housewife. Her popular cookbook, The Fruigal Housewife or Female Companion was reprinted in 1772 Boston. The man credited with making the printing plates for this cookbook might have otherwise been forgotten. But he was later made a legend by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's when he wrote his fabled "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere."

Book A Treasury of Family Recipes from America s Glorious Colonial Past

Download or read book A Treasury of Family Recipes from America s Glorious Colonial Past written by Robert W. Pelton and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooking & Baking During the Time of the War for American Independence is chock full of delightfully different and delicious cooking ideas favored by many famous, and some forgotten, yet historically important individuals and families of yesteryear. It contains the favorite dishes of numerous well known as well as lesser-known figures from the Revolutionary War period of our glorious history. Included are tasty breads and other baked goods, taste-tempting main dishes, soups and stews and loads of other wonderful recipes. Here you will find the favorites of such historical luminaries as Alexander Hamilton who was born in the West Indies but moved to the Colonies in 1772. He became one of the brightest stars in the fight for independence. One of George Washington's closest friends, this man dearly loved what was called Blood Bread with his dinners. A delightful Walnut Bread Pudding dish was eagerly eaten by General Lafayette in 1824 on his final visit to his beloved America. And those very special Sweet Potato Griddle Cakes were often prepared and served by the family of General Philip Schuyler. Most early American recipes as originally written would be quite difficult, if not impossible, to use today with any degree of ease or accuracy. Such concoctions were most often written as one long and rather complicated, sometimes rambling paragraph. Or they might simply be a long list of ingredients in no particular sequence or order. And many of the ingredients called for would not be recognized by today's readers. One of the most popular cakes, as well as the only cake made without bread dough in the Colonies, was that called The Nun's Cake. The recipe for this special cake was carefully cherished and handed down as a prized heirloom from prior generations. It was no doubt, often handwritten, and bequeathed from mother to daughter. Or, the ingredients may have been memorized, and passed along by word of mouth.

Book The Perils of Peace

  • Author : Thomas Fleming
  • Publisher : Harper Collins
  • Release : 2009-10-13
  • ISBN : 0061870102
  • Pages : 371 pages

Download or read book The Perils of Peace written by Thomas Fleming and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 19, 1781, Great Britain's best army surrendered to General George Washington at Yorktown. But the future of the 13 former colonies was far from clear. A 13,000 man British army still occupied New York City, and another 13,000 regulars and armed loyalists were scattered from Canada to Savannah, Georgia. Meanwhile, Congress had declined to a mere 24 members, and the national treasury was empty. The American army had not been paid for years and was on the brink of mutiny. In Europe, America's only ally, France, teetered on the verge of bankruptcy and was soon reeling from a disastrous naval defeat in the Caribbean. A stubborn George III dismissed Yorktown as a minor defeat and refused to yield an acre of "my dominions" in America. In Paris, Ambassador Benjamin Franklin confronted violent hostility to France among his fellow members of the American peace delegation. In his riveting new book, Thomas Fleming moves elegantly between the key players in this drama and shows that the outcome we take for granted was far from certain. Not without anguish, General Washington resisted the urgings of many officers to seize power and held the angry army together until peace and independence arrived. With fresh research and masterful storytelling, Fleming breathes new life into this tumultuous but little known period in America's history.

Book excerpt: 2018 James Beard Foundation Book of the Year | 2018 James Beard Foundation Book Award Winner inWriting | Nominee for the 2018 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Nonfiction | #75 on The Root100 2018 A renowned culinary historian offers a fresh perspective on our most divisive cultural issue, race, in this illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces his ancestry—both black and white—through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom. Southern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who "owns" it is one of the most provocative touch points in our ongoing struggles over race. In this unique memoir, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty takes readers to the white-hot center of this fight, tracing the roots of his own family and the charged politics surrounding the origins of soul food, barbecue, and all Southern cuisine. From the tobacco and rice farms of colonial times to plantation kitchens and backbreaking cotton fields, Twitty tells his family story through the foods that enabled his ancestors’ survival across three centuries. He sifts through stories, recipes, genetic tests, and historical documents, and travels from Civil War battlefields in Virginia to synagogues in Alabama to Black-owned organic farms in Georgia. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the Southern past. Along the way, he reveals a truth that is more than skin deep—the power that food has to bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together.
