Dust jacket notes read: Around the American Table will take you back in time to visit the kitchens and festive celebrations of our nation's rich culinary heritage. Drawing on over 350 years of American cooking traditions, these wonderful recipes reflect our nation's broad cultural and regional diverstiy. And because the recipes have been carefully adapted for modern cooking methods, you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen. Around the American Table presents some of the earliest recipes for foods that are all-American favoirtes - such as ice cream, chili, fried chicken, and macaroni and cheese. It also includes dishes of special meaning to American history. For example, you can try nineteenth-century African-American recipes - including Harriet Tubman's favorite corn bread. Savory recipes from turn of the century New York City represent the Jewish cooking tradition. The famous Pennsylvania Dutch bakers provide recipes fro Aunt Sarah's Walnut Gingerbread and a bounty of hearty breads. Recipes perfect for the Christmas season, such as a fragrant mincemeat or a wedding cake-like Metropolitan Cake, hearken back to Victoria times. The book also brings to life the Virginia planatation fare served by the Founding Mothers, a farm breakfast fresh from the prairie, a Texas ranch meal from the 1920s, and the curious hors d'oeuvres and cocktails of the suburban 1950s--among others.
