| Publisher Description: Originally published in London in 1727 this is considered the first cookbook ever published in the United States. Containing not only recipes but also directions for painting rooms, removing mildew, and home remedies for treating ailments. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
