“America’s First Cookbook”

In 1796, a young lady named Amelia Simmons published what would become “the mother of all cookbooks” to follow in the U.S.A.”

Called American Cookery it was the very first cookbook published in America and the first one in the world for female cooks.

American Cookery published the earliest clear pairing of our Thanksgiving classics, cranberries and turkey, and the first recipes anywhere using corn meal as the primary ingredient.

Here also was the very first recipe for “Indian Slapjacks” and “Johnny Cake,” or “Hoe Cake” which was to become an American staple under several other names like “Hot Cakes” and “Pancakes: during the following centuries.

Amelia also gave us the very first recipes for pumpkin pie, Indian pudding, rice pudding, and gingerbread. Here too was the first use of the words “cookie” and “slaw”... both borrowed from the Dutch in America. Dozens of recipes tell you how to cook beef, pork, mutton, lamb, veal, poultry, fish and seafood, meat pies, dumplings, apple and other fruit pies, puddings, tarts, custards, cakes, gingerbread, biscuits, and literally dozens more amazing, amusing, and delicious recipes.

Amelia’s recipes are delicious and wholesome and some are sinfully rich. It is available in a special heirloom collector’s edition on a first come, first served basis.
