American Cookery was the first cookbook in America. Reproduced here is the rare second edition printed in 1796. We have added a new introduction by noted food historian Karen Hess.
I found this book difficult to read. Not what I expected.

I was excited to see this book until it came to my door. It’s a very thin paperback. I thought it would have a few words that would be interesting. It has way too many to decipher. If you like a challenge, this is for you!
