Customer Reviews

Engaging read for young historians!

Have you ever come home after school and had a snack of bread dipped in warm beer? That sure would sound strange to kids today, but if you lived at the time of the Revolutionary War, it would be of no surprise, because lack of refrigeration would make it difficult to keep milk and other foods fresh. Would you ever cook your vegetables so long that they were mushy and lost all their vitamins? You would if you were about to have what colonists called a "boiled salad!" George Erdosh explores foodways and presents recipes for families to work on together, adapted for modern cooks. A glossary for review is included. Families will have great fun with this book.
