New American Cookery, or Female Companion PDF
by An American Lady
Part of the American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection series
Description
The first half of the text of New American Cookery, or Female Companion is a word-for-word reprint of the first American cookbook, Amelia Simmons's American Cookery, although it eliminates her prefaces. This type of plagiarism was common practice in early cookbook publishing, and Simmons was a popular target. The book eliminates the confusing substitution of ';f' for ';s' that makes so many colonial-era documents such as American Cookery difficult to read. But even in the short decade since publication of Amelia Simmons's work, local cooks were expanding their culinary practice and developing more sophistication in the kitchen.
