AT THE TABLE IN COLONIAL AMERICA BY PATRICIA B. MITCHELL

Patricia Mitchell describes the abundance of the New World and the uses to which early European settlers put it. These early settlers were lured to America by its promise of abundance even before they dreamed of freedom on its wild shores. Along with the lore of the various native foods, such as “cymlins,” Jocelyn’s pumpkin, and Dolly’s chicken pudding, she also offers recipes, culled from the historical record, for making some of the foods that fed our ancestors. 36 Pgs Paperback
