The time period 1780-1850 is often overlooked in social histories, people seemingly preferring to focus on the drama of the American Revolution or the Civil War. However, in "Cooking in the Young Republic" Patricia B. Mitchell presents a concise overview of the culinary habits of citizens of the young United States. Anecdotes and recipes illustrate the beginnings of American-style cooking, simultaneous with the birth of American-style self-government.
As might be expected, Thomas Jefferson's interest in food and wine is discussed. Dolly Madison's exuberant personality and abundant table are also featured, and Rachel Donelson Jackson is described and quoted. Recipes from the time period are given, and also commemorative recipes. Try “Lafayette Ginger Bread,” “Cliveden Waffles,” “Dolley's Ice Cream,” and “Opossum” (!) to get a taste of the past.
36 authentic and commemorative recipes, 102 research notes. 11,063 words. Published 1992.
