3.0 out of 5 stars Thsi is a kids book, I was fooled., August 24, 2001

This review is from: Colonial Cooking (Exploring History Through Simple Recipes) (Library Binding)

I read the book in about 10 minutes. It is a book that you would find in the children's section of a library. I was looking for authentic cooking and this has ideas but modern techniques. If you are a kid doing some research on early settlers and some of the food this would be great. If you were like me and thought it was going to be some history of cooking stay away.

5.0 out of 5 stars History so good you can taste it!, October 3, 2007

This review is from: Colonial Cooking (Exploring History Through Simple Recipes) (Library Binding)

Colonial Cooking is a real treat for children, teens or adults. Simple (but delightful) recipes from the New England Colonies, Middle Colonies and Southern Colonies include Indian pudding, Boston Brown Bread, Apple Pie and Philadelphia Pepper Pot, plus more.

This slim volume also includes background historical information, tips on safety, and sources for further study on the subject.

If you would like to eat a good history lesson with your kids, or just make one for yourself, I recommend this little book. (Children most definitely require adult supervision!)
