"Amelia Simmons prepared the first American cookbook. The first published recipes for turkey with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie are here. This is a historical gem. This version contains updated recipes so that you can actually prepare some of the foods. Examples of the original text are included so that you can see the quaint long s (as f)and the rather blurred condition of the original text. The illustrations, introduction and updated recipes are the most important features of this book. If you are most interested in the history of cooking the Dover press facsimile edition includes an excellent scholarly article by Mary Tolford Wilson. An Amazon search for Amelia Simmons as Author gives some idea of how many times this book has been republished in various formats."

- Kind of disappointed. Not what I expected would not buy again
- I bought this for my son-in-law for Christmas -- he is a costumed interpreter at Mount Vernon, George Washington's home, and is very interested in the kinds of cooking and recipes used in Colonial times. He was thrilled to receive this book. The recipes are reprinted on one side just as they were originally written in those days. A "translation" into modern English is given on the opposite page. He hopes to use the book to better inform his understanding of Colonial cooking, but he also plans to see if any of the recipes can be adapted for cooking today.
- Love this book!
- nice quality
- great historical book
- I purchased this book as a gift for my friend who collects cook books, and also is a great cook by the way. I had to read this book myself before giving it to her. It was so interesting reading all about foods in days past, how to pick out vegtables and meats, what herbs to use, etc., it was fascinating. The recipies I know my friend will try. This was a great book to add to her collection and I was proud to give it to her.
- I was surprised at how much historical information is provided along with the recipes in this book. I used American Cookery (Clark, 2012 ed.) for a 2nd grade Social Studies class to demonstrate how recipes and cooking have changed over time. The kids loved the recipes and they were surprised at some of the ingredients that were once used on a regular basis.
