Revolutionary Recipes describes foodways in the late colonial period, with entertaining anecdotes. Originally published 1988, revised 1991. 32 authentic, interpreted (redacted), and commemorative recipes, 58 research notes. 10,672 words. One of Patricia B. Mitchell's first books on American food history, Revolutionary Recipes has remained a steady favorite since 1988. Full of detailed material about colonial cuisine, this âbasic primerâ is likely to set readers on a lifelong path of interest in historic foodways. Thinking about (and almost re-living) the meals and mindset of our forebears is addictive. First-person accounts by Revolutionary War soldiers who discuss their meager fare is contrasted to descriptions of bountiful dinner parties held back home in safety. The menus and recipes are useful for anyone wanting to re-create a Colonial era event. The 32 recipes include simple dishes like âCorn Poneâ and fancier foods such as Martha Washington's chicken fricassee.

Revolutionary Recipes: Colonial Food, Lore, & More

An examination of the food situation in Southern homes during the Civil War. Originally published 1991, revised from the 1990 first edition. 40 authentic and commemorative recipes, 62 research notes, 2 illustrations, 10,858 words. With her husband gone off to war, the Confederate wife had to manage all aspects of home life (and tend to any business which the husband would normally conduct). One of the wife's chief responsibilities was the feeding of all members of her household. Author Patricia B. Mitchell tells how Southern women coped with food shortages brought on by decreased agricultural production, blockades, and other war-created situations. Included in Confederate Home Cooking are actual accounts by women who experienced the war and the cooking challenges it engendered. Recipes of the time period are presented, as well as commemorative recipes.
