Fascinating read

I borrowed this book from my local library and loved it so much I had to buy one for my son's 6th grade class (who are studying colonial America) and one for home. It is a wonderful history centered around food in colonial America together with authentic but updated recipes of food by region. I often cook with the students in my children's school and we will be using this book as our "textbook" this year.
