Originally published in 1839, this long-lost classic of Southern cooking includes more than 1,300 recipes, all cooked and seasoned in a hot climate. The foods and recipes featured in this kitchen classic are derived from American Indian, European, and African sources and reflect a merging of the three distinct cultures in the American South.
As we prepare to celebrate America's Independence Day, we thought it would be fun to explore our country's culinary journey with a collection of cookbooks reflecting the history of American cuisine.
