America's First Cookbook

The first cookbook in America was authored by Amelia Simmons in 1796. A short 47 pages when considered with some of the large cookbooks of today's world. However inside the pages though there were recipes that packed lots of power.


Recipes for stuffed goose, stuffed leg of veal, and roast lamb to name a few. There were even more recipes for stews and even pies. The recipes reflected the British heritage that it was authored with. Moreover, the recipes offered a new cuisine, a new place to find recipes to try or see how others cooked, and a chance for others to express through recipes their thoughts



The British loved "Queen's cake" and it was no different in the recipe that was offered in the new cookbook. The book offered elegant ideas that were different than the every day. But don't count the every day recipes out as they were there as well



Recipes for johnnycake, federal pan cake, buckwheat cake, and Indian slapjacks. These recipes all used familiar ingredients that could easily be found often right in the cooking area. Ingredients such as cornmeal, flour, milk, water and fat.


The cookbook was bought by many for over 30 years. Individuals living in New England, New York and the Midwest all purchased the cookbook. The cookbook American Cookery sits in the Library of Congress in a selection of books titled "Books That Shaped America"
