American Cookery
American Cookery: The First Cookbook Born from the Spirit and Flavors of AmericaAmelia Simmons was an American cook and author credited with writing American Cookery (1796), the first known cookbook authored by an American and published in the United States. Little is known about Simmons's personal life, but she describes herself in the preface as an "orphan" and aims her work specifically at the domestic needs of American households. Her groundbreaking book reflects the practical realities, ingredients, and tastes of the new republic, marking a significant cultural departure from European culinary traditions. Simmons's contribution to American domestic life has been widely recognized as foundational to the development of a distinct national cuisine.American Cookery is a landmark in culinary history, offering recipes that make pioneering use of indigenous ingredients such as cornmeal, squash, and turkey. Blending English culinary roots with uniquely American innovations, Simmons's straightforward and practical instructions captured the spirit of everyday cooking in post-Revolutionary America. Beyond its recipes, the book provides valuable insight into early American food practices, household management, and social values. Enduring in its influence and historical importance, American Cookery remains a treasured artifact for culinary historians and anyone interested in the origins of American food culture.

In The Carmel-Kawachinagano Cookbook: Recipes, Restaurants, and Relationships Defining Three Decades of Sister-City History, Carmel resident Ethan McAndrews eats his way through the small-town friendship connecting two cities 6,000 miles apart: Carmel, Indiana and Kawachinagano, Japan. Navigating everything from poisonous fish to 600-pound farm pigs, McAndrews presents a firsthand look at the people, stories, and traditions behind some of the most intriguing aspects of Japanese and American life. The Carmel-Kawachinagano Cookbook is not a 48-hour, neon-soaked highlight reel of mega-cities like Tokyo or New York--Carmel and Kawachinagano are cities rarely mentioned by the media. McAndrews leans into this small-town focus to capture an intimate, often-overlooked portrait of life in Japan and the United States through its foods. With hand-drawn illustrations and easy-to-follow recipes, this powerful, interactive work allows readers to visualize life in another culture...and taste it, too. Kawachinagano-based artist Takeo Tsunamoto captures the essence of both cities in his illustrations, crafting over 40 original Japanese-style drawings throughout the book. Additionally, with over 28 recipes from both towns, The Carmel-Kawachinagano Kitchen provides the opportunity for culinary discovery long after readers turn the final page.

At home, his family ate adobo with rice, gathered in the kitchen to roll lumpia, and roasted a whole goat in the backyard to make kalderetang kambing (celebratory goat stew). At school, all he wanted was Lunchables and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. It wasn't until he discovered the power of food as a means of connection--to strangers and friends, to his heritage, and even to himself--that he began cooking in earnest and sharing his story through the dishes he made.

The Taste of Country Cooking
The most beloved Southern cookbook of all time: a glorious celebration of seasonal eating that has shaped generations of home cooks, from "the first lady of Southern cooking" (NPR). Beautifully repackaged and redesigned, with a new foreword by Toni Tipton-Martin. "A classic, showing Americans the bounty of Southern cuisine and influencing generations." --Melissa Clark, The New York Times "Indispensable . . . An inspiration to all of us who are striving to protect both biodiversity and cultural diversity by cooking real food in season and honoring our heritage through the ritual of the table." --Alice Waters With the publication of The Taste of Country Cooking in 1976, Edna Lewis proclaimed the food of the American South one of the world's great cuisines. From the field greens and salads of spring; pan-fried chicken and crushed peaches in summer; preserves and sweet potatoes for fall; and hearty soups and stews during the cold winter months, Miss Lewis (as she was almost universally known) extolled the vir­tues of the good food of her childhood, spent in a Virginia farming community founded by her grandfather and his friends after Emancipation. A celebration of eating locally--decades before "farm to table" became common parlance--the book showcases the joys of cooking with the seasons. The 150 accessible recipes in its pages include: -Baked Virginia Ham, Buttered Jerusalem Artichokes, and Rhubarb Pie in Spring-Green Tomato Preserves, Wilted Lettuce with Hot Vinegar Dressing, and Fresh Blackberry Cobbler in Summer-Crispy Biscuits, Green Bean Salad with Sliced Tomatoes, and Country-Fried Apples in Fall-Oyster Stew, Pan-Braised Spareribs, and Coconut Layer Cake in Winter An affirmation of a distinctly American way of eating, fifty years after its publica­tion, The Taste of Country Cooking remains the definitive book on Southern food.

There's Always Room at the Table
A delicious collection of classic, midwestern family recipes updated with modern spins and ingredients--from one of Instagram's favorite farmers, Kaleb Wyse.When Kaleb Wyse started documenting his daily life on his farm in Iowa, he didn't think many people would take notice or even care. After all, his way of life is simple, guided by the seasons--he spends his days gardening, preserving, baking, and cooking, a rhythm not all that different from that of his parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents who worked the land before him.But it turns out that people from all over the country (and even the world) connected with Kaleb's simple, back-to-basics way of living, and fell in love with his hearty, homestyle cooking. From casseroles to biscuits, his recipes hit the sweet spot of nostalgia for some--and are a breath of fresh air for others.In his debut cookbook, Kaleb shares his midwestern family recipes, updated for the way we eat today: Overnight French Toast Stick CasseroleCornmeal Pancakes with Blackberry SauceRoasted Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Apricot GlazeCaesar Roasted Brussels SproutsRoasted Zucchini, Dill, and Feta DipHoney Dijon Three Bean SaladRhubarb Custard Pie BarsFrom breakfasts and main courses to side dishes and desserts, the timeless food in this cookbook will appeal to every generation. Kaleb's philosophy behind his recipes is simple: the dishes must be reminiscent of those prepared by his mom, grandmas, or even great-grandmas; the ingredients have to be readily available in his southeastern Iowa grocery stores (meaning that they'd be available for pretty much anyone else); and the end result needs to be no-nonsense and taste amazing.This delightful cookbook is a reminder that it's ok to slow down and keep it simple in the kitchen--the result with Kaleb's recipes will always be comforting, classic, and delicious.

The Taste of Nostalgia
An exploration of gender, race, and food in Peru in the 1950s and 1960s and today.From the late 1940s to the mid 1960s, Peru's rapid industrialization and anti-communist authoritarianism coincided with the rise of mass-produced cookbooks, the first televised cooking shows, glossy lifestyle magazines, and imported domestic appliances and foodstuffs. Amy Cox Hall's The Taste of Nostalgia uses taste as a thematic and analytic thread to examine the ways that women, race, and the kitchen were foundational to Peruvian longings for modernity, both during the Cold War and today.Drawing on interviews, personal stories, media images, and archival and ethnographic research, Cox Hall considers how elite, European-descended women and the urban home were central to Peru's modernizing project and finds that all women who labored within the deeply racialized and gendered world of food helped set the stage for a Peruvian food nationalism that is now global in the twenty-first century. Cox Hall skillfully connects how the sometimes-unsavory tastes of the past are served again in today's profitable and pervasive gastronostalgia that helps sell Peru and its cuisine both at home and abroad.
