Description
Do you want to have more fun when you teach history?
In our house, we love to cook and bake to learn history. We time travel right in the kitchen.
Here is our American History Cookbook. We used it in our home and in our American history co-op. Everyone loved it! Each family took a week to make a meal from Colonial Times, The Alamo, The Transcontinental Railroad, The Gilded Age, or World War II–whatever we were studying. Some of the recipes are adapted from original recipes from old history cookbooks and famous recipe collections. I adapted Louisa May Alcott’s Blueberry Slump, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello Noodles, and Martha Washington’s Fruit Cake. I think you will have a blast cooking and eating your way through time!
Each section begins with a little history lesson on important events and people along with information about foods and eating habits of the time period. Also included in this unique cookbook are resources after each section of recipes. These resources include living books & historical fiction to write, movies you can watch, and sample menus using the cookbook.
