A nice mixture of history and historical recipes updated for modern ingredients (and to a lesser extent tastes). I took notes throughout and then decided that I'm not even going to attempt any of the recipes this year, but I enjoyed the book anyway.
Fascinating historical survey of American folk cooking, with recipes. Photos of some of the dishes and cookware. Great stories and quotes about the evolution of American dishes.
An excellent, and extensive book of heirloom vegetables (almost 500 pages!). The author has been saving old vegetable varieties his entire life, with some of the seeds from his grandfather from the 1930's! He also includes a very comprehensive history of people saving seeds. The list of plants is very extensive, from artichokes to yams. Each vegetable gets a thorough discussion.

This was an interesting overview of what Dutch cuisine really is and how our image of Dutch culture and cuisine--and its popular attachment to the Amish--was manufactured, often by outsiders.… (altro)
