SERVING UP HISTORY - Savor the Flavors of Early
West Virginia Cookery 1776 – 1860
This second book, a cookbook, comes as a companion
to the earlier West Virginia foodways history book, The Frontier Table. This new cookery book includes over 100 historic “receipts” (recipes) with modern translations for today’s cook and kitchen. It includes Historic Insights and Cook’s Notes to help the reader understand and prepare these heirloom recipes and includes 30 references. There is a “Gone Visiting” chapter about historic places throughout West Virginia that the public can visit featuring colorful site and food photos.
