Step inside the kitchens, taverns, gardens, hearths, and pantry shelves of early America.
The Founding Fathers Kitchen Cookbook brings together 250 practical recipes inspired by Revolutionary America, colonial households, public houses, plantation kitchens, farm tables, military camps, bake ovens, dairies, and seasonal gardens. This is not a book of fake “secret Founder recipes.” Instead, it presents historically honest, old-fashioned American foodways adapted for the modern home kitchen.
Inside you’ll find hearty hoecakes, corn breads, oyster stews, roasted meats, garden vegetables, tavern dishes, puddings, pies, preserves, pickles, drinks, sweets, and celebration fare. Each recipe is written with clear measurements, modern cooking temperatures, practical substitutions, and storage guidance while keeping the flavors plain, seasonal, rustic, and deeply rooted in the food culture of the founding era.
Perfect for history lovers, home cooks, old-fashioned food enthusiasts, and anyone curious about what early American kitchens might have looked, smelled, and tasted like.
