Title: Great History on American Food and Recipes
Review: Although I do use this book for its recipes, I really prefer it for its American Food history. It would be great for food education with children in particular, because this book is fun. It takes you from the time of the Pilgrims to our modern, "cook with ease and simplicity," era. It's also interesting because the book contains clippings of actual recipes, and culinary how-to's. I also agree with the other reviewer, that fats should be and can be, easily replaced in these recipes to accommodate our modern diets. The recipes I have used are delicious, and the way they are presented helps to create a meal from that section, with foods that relate to each other. Very educational and worth checking out.
