Summary

"As a companion to the first colume in the American Food in History series, we offer a selection of recipes, updated and tested by food editor Jennifer Billock, using measurements and techniques that modern readers can use in their own kitchens. Arranged by main meal occasions (breakfast, picnic or lunch, dinner, dessert) these recipes--some familiar, some curious, all intriguing--will allow family and friends to get a taste of the times with their own Civil War-era meals. The original versions of these recipes (and many more) can be found in Food in the Civil War Era: The North, edited by Helen Zoe Veit (ISBN 9781611861228), along with fascinating essays about the history and the times."--Back cover.
