  
By Amelia Simmons. Facsimile reprint of the first edition of the first cookbook written by an American. Prior to this time American housewives wishing to purchase a professionally written cookbook had no option other than to buy a British import, or a British work reprinted in America. Simmons borrowed freely from popular British cookbooks but also included American recipes, using ingredients such as cornmeal, squash and pumpkin. 80 pages. Softcover.
