Randi Julia Ramsden: Extra! Extra! Eat All about It!, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Food is at the heart of our history. In Extra! Extra!, authors Conway and Ramsden peruse historic newspapers to find the most intriguing, unusual, and historically relevant recipes to re-create and share with home cooks. Newspapers have always covered more than current events. Reflecting local happenings and interests, newspapers are the voice of the community and a source of entertainment and education. Many newspapers have featured columns dedicated to everything related to the house and garden. While those sections of newspapers are largely overlooked by researchers analyzing historical events and trends, their pages hide a wealth of historic recipes just waiting to be cooked again. In EXTRA! EXTRA! the authors bring historic recipes into the 21st century kitchen, providing tips, conversions, and contextual history, as well as capturing images of the revived dishes for the first time in their long history. The cookbook features recipes found in Wisconsin newspapers published between the 1870s and mid-1920s. Each recipe is accompanied by a brief essay on subjects from ingredients, accessibility, and price; food shortages and seasons; evolving cooking trends; local ingredients; and even a bit of Wisconsin newspaper history"--
