As American as apple pie! Only four 1st edition copies are known to exist of "American Cookery," the first cookbook written by an American & published in the U.S. (1796). The Library has one. Little is known about the author, Amelia Simmons. loc.gov/item/96126967/ #PiDay #PieDay
ALT A page of "American Cookery" focused on pies, with recipes for tongue pie, minced pie of beef, apple pie and currant pie.

Happy 60th anniversary to this 1963 marketing campaign between Skippy peanut butter and Hellman's mayo, which boldly proclaimed that the two products are "Together Tremendous!" and offered 6 sandwich "recipes". May these all stay deeply, deeply discontinued

Here’s some folklore of gingerbread whilst we’re passing. It was believed that certain shapes were charmed. Heart shapes for love, rabbits for fertility & if you could get the man of your dreams to eat the gingerbread man created for him then it was a 1 way ticket to your HEA.3/4

Its popularity further spread during World War II, when food rationing limited access to pastry ingredients used for making apple pies. Variations of this dish are much older. For example, a recipe for apple pandowdy is in Miss Corson's Practical American Cookery, 1886

Current research led me here yesterday. From The Encyclopædia of Practical Cookery, 1892. Quirkily shaped ices. Gorgeous. And no, I am not writing a book about ices! 😁 #newbook #research #ices #Victorian #foodhistorian

For #NationalGrilledCheeseDay: not a perfect match, but a "hot tomato cottage cheese sandwich" sounds both intriguing and nauseating. Let us know if you try this 1943 recipe. #ChronAm #vintagerecipes #recipes Read more: ow.ly/PWdk30js9Vm
